Approached by a long cedar-lined avenue, the main building has an classically elegant facade in pale cut stone with central pillars rising to a pediment.

The interiors have been totally upgraded and renovated in 2012/2013 and have many fine period features including plaster mouldings, original marble fireplaces and parquet floors.
