The original 8ft (2.4m) thick wall of the castle and the stairwell of the original spiral staircase are there, but not easily visible' (SMR file). The house was described by the NIAH as following: 'Detached five-bay two-storey house over basement with attic, largely built c.1650 and altered and extended c. 1780. Single-storey flat-roofed addition to rear. Pitched slate roof with skylights and three rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Timber sash windows with limestone sills, six-over-six pane to front with tw0-over-two pane to basement and variety of two-over-two, six-over-six, eight-over-eight and bull's eye windows to rear. Tripartite window to east gable and round-headed and two dormers with carved bargeboards to rear elevation. Cut stone doorcase with pilasters to front entrance having blind cobweb fanlight and limestone steps over basement. Single-storey outbuilding with double height space having pyramidal slate roof and with pitched slate roof to remaining bays.
