House
The house was on an eminence with views of the sea, protected by a sea wall. It was Tudor Revival and Gothic Revival in style. There was a clock tower at the east end. After Sir William Hutt bought it in about 1870, he had the house, gardens and estate extensively remodelled.Шаблон:Sfn
Other buildings

It has Gothic Revival tracery windows, and an oriel window facing the sea.Шаблон:Sfn[1] It survives and is a local landmark.
