The house is built of limestone ashlar to a T-shaped plan with a hipped slate roof, and it has a two-storey frontage of 7 bays. It stands in 4,000 acres of park and farmland, which is Grade II listed and bisected by the River Stour. Several other associated buildings, such as stables and entrance lodges, are also listed. A number of former features of the estate – such as the pleasure grounds, an obelisk and a Chinese pavilion – have since been lost.
