Appraisal
Architectural quality and refinement are apparent in the design, execution and detailing of this country house, which was built for John Farrell. The house is enhanced by the full-height pilasters and Doric limestone portico, which exhibit fine carved detailing, and by the survival of many original features and materials. The outbuildings, walled garden, gates and former gate lodges, form an interesting group of demesne structures with the main house.
