Full Description

The Baronial 1865 house is 2-storey with basement and attic, built of squared granite, with a 4-storey crenellated southeast tower with ogee-capped bell turret. A semi-circular entrance feature is corbelled to square. It has a simple interior, the staircase reconstructed in circa 1958. See NJ93SW0055 for designed landscape.
