September 1999. Site visit during restoration works.
Investigation during restoration works suggests this is an early 17th century building (though just possibly in an older shell); as stated, given a monumental entrance and new windows in 1718; the south end of the main block as well as the rear pile are 19th century.
Good 19th century stable.
