Development History
27 April 2023: External inspection finds the buildings to be roofless and partially covered in dense vegetation. There are no remaining windows and little remains of the doors. A modern gate is in place but open at the time of the visit. Some pieces of ashlar have been damaged but the structures appear to be stable. The gate lodge is sited at the entrance to a private road. There are no signs of vandalism.
