A tower about 30 feet high rises out of the north side, above the entrance. Extensive parks bordered by trees surround it, and the north and south sides of the demesne are formed by large woods. South east from the house is the garden, and in the greenhouses are a number of rare and valuable plants. The home farm a regular range of buildings is to the west. The principal entrance is on the south, the approach from which is for the most part straight with full grown trees on each side. The present proprietor is Henry Stewart Esq.
