The Castle

The Castle is a folly built in the mid 18th century, incorporating older materials and 19th-century additions. It features reused dressed stone and brick, topped with an old plain tile roof. The structure is designed as a two-storey tower made of dressed stone, facing north towards the main house. Behind the tower is a two-bay brick building that includes a tall narrow stair turret on one side and a 19th-century wing on the other.

The tower has diagonal buttresses at the north corners and a central 18th-century medieval pointed door, flanked by inset reused columns. Above the door is an inscribed tablet, and at the top, there is an 18th-century two-light pointed cinquefoiled window along with a string course and parapet above. Each side of the tower features two of these windows. The north front is adorned with reused carved figures and bosses. The brick stair turret has a gabled roof and is mostly blank, except for one casement window. On the south side, there is a 20th-century porch that leads to a door in the rear bay, with a casement window above and an end stack.
