The present building bearing this name is a handsome three-storeyed mansion of medium size and rectangular shape, which stands in pleasant grounds at the south end of Yarm, in what was until recently a small enclave of High Worsall. The long east front of the house faces the Tees—from which it is separated by terraced lawns—and the rising ground crowned with woods on the Durham side of the river, while the main entrance on the west front is approached by a short drive from lodge gates on the Thirsk road. The south end of the house looks across ornamental lawns to a large walled kitchen garden, and at the north end there is a range of domestic buildings built a century earlier as an extension to the original house and narrower than the main building, while to the north of this there is a long courtyard flanked by stables and other outbuildings and having a lane leading to the south end of the High Street.
