N and S ranges both have tall pedimented central bay, round-arched openings in latter range and cast-iron - columned (?1896) shelter to court. Tall 2-storey E range with pend at N end.

Jardine Hall itself was demolished 1964.

July 2008: External inspection finds that the roof is maintained, otherwise the block is in poor condition. Nearly all the glazing has been lost and the frames are rotting. There is extensive plant growth on the gate tower. Some areas of the wall are extremely damp.

May 2011: External inspection finds the building continues to deteriorate. Since the previous visit more glazing has been lost. Part of the east range is in use as agricultural storage.

11 June 2014: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously. Part of the complex remains in agricultural use. Vegetation growth on the structure has increased.
