Remains of a large quadrangular building of C14-C15, built in what was probably
the bailey of the former castle. The moated castle mound stands to the
south of the present buildings. These enclose what was formerly a courtyard
and is now a farmyard. Part of the surrounding moat remains. The north
range, formerly the gate house, and the south range, formerly containing
the great hall, kitchen etc are the original buildings of C14-C15. The
east range was built circa 1600 with much re-used material and in 1620 a
timber-framed staircase wing was added on the courtyard side. This partly
obscures a re-used C14 2-light window with stone surround mullion and transom,
and trefoiled heads. The east range is now the farmhouse. The north range
was made into dwellings in the late C17 and the south range which was said
to be ruinous was converted into a barn. At the same period the west range
was built as a granary etc. The buildings are mostly of red brick with
some timber-framing and the roofs are tiled. The east front has a 4 window
range of leaded casements (some old and some replacements), in segmental
brick arched heads. Two of the upper storey windows have 3-lights with
mullions and transom. There is a central single light window with stone
surround and trefoiled head. There are C18 and later alterations and some
additions at the courtyard side. The interior has some C17 features and
the upper part of the staircase is circa 1620. In the north range the gate
house rises slightly above the rest of the range and has a stone 4-centred
arch on the north and on the south side. On the south side (courtyard)
there are 4 original windows on the upper storey with cinquefoil heads.
The north front has mainly leaded casements and there are 2 original windows
with cinquefoil heads. Above the archway there is an original 3-light window
with stone mullions, other windows are modern. The interior has a good
late C17 staircase. The south wing is much altered with 4 modern semi-circular
brick arches on the south side. The west range is used as farm buildings.
