Full Description
The house was demolished in 1886 but during the demolition works a ground plan and some elevations were made and a series of photographs taken. The structure consisted principally of a first floor hall with a barrel vaulted basement sunk partially below ground level and a narrow east-west room to the south. The basement contained four, probably five loop windows, four doorways, only three of which were apparently original, and seven round-headed recesses.<1>
