The interior dates partly from the early C19, but the exterior of the house was rebuilt by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1907 for the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, athlete and politician. It is a nearly square building of red brick. Two storeys and attics with a hipped pantiled roof, stringcourse and wide eaves cornice. The entrance front faces north-east. Seven windows and two dormers. The centre portion of three windows projects with a recessed portico to its ground floor consisting of two pairs of pilasters, and a pediment above the eaves containing a Venetian attic window in its tympanum. The south-east front has nine windows, three of them being circular. The entrance to the carriage drive is flanked by red brick gate piers surmounted by stone cornices, and ball caps on pedestals, and set in a low curved wall with three lower brick piers standing on the wall on each side, all surmounted by ball caps, and with an iron railing between these lower piers.
During the Second World War the house was visited by Sir Winston Churchill, Viscount Montgomery and King George VI.
