House
The building was constructed in around 1600. The original house has a central block of three bays, with two stories and an attic with dormer windows, and projecting side wings with Dutch gables at each end. Some original wood panelling remains inside. New façades were added in the early 19th century, and the house was later expanded. It is now a grade II* listed building, and is a private nursing home operated by Four Seasons Health Care.
