Full description
Garden house (so called Dovecote) now converted is the oldest building on site, late 17th century in ornate brickwork, altered 1906. It suggests the presence of an earlier, grander hall. Present hall rear wing is of c.1700, perhaps 1736 as this date occurs on adjacent barn. It was partly converted from three to two storeys in late 18th century. Main hall wing is c.1820.
