House of 1621 built on site of moated quadrangular site of possible fortified manor house. Surrounding the Hall are the remains of the moat, in places converted to a ha-ha and sunken garden. The gatehouse which once stood to the north west of the house, at the end of the bridge over the moat, was demolished in the late C18.

Medieval house remodelled substantially early C17 by Trollope family, altered late C17, refronted 1786-88 by William Legge of Stamford in Gothick style. Coursed and ashlar banded limestone rubble, squared limestone rubble, ashlar, ashlar quoins, dressings. Collyweston slate roofs with lead dressings, some hipped, some with stone coped gables. Originally a medieval hall block, with early C17 cross wing parlour block to the south and garden front of 1785 by William Legge. (Listed Building Report)

Rebuilt houses such as Halstead Hall (early sixteenth century), Casewick Hall (1621), and Hougham Manor (c.1620) are palimpsets of their earlier moated quadrangular sites (Emery)

Some parts of the medieval hall may remain but are much remodelled.
