Within the building the significant features are:
- An original jettied cross wing of 1550, large elements of which survive with painted lintel, floor and framing structures.
- A 1570 extension to the south – including a Tudor chimneystack – large elements of which survive, including the floor frame, and an extension to the north, the entrance hall.
- 1600 alterations and extensions to south and east (later largely demolished).
- 1624 additions – a northern wing, parts of which survive, and east extension.
- 1726 Neoclassical remodelling including installation of the Baroque staircase, Lanscroon murals – the gem of the house – and Neoclassical panelling to ground and first floor rooms, all of which survives in part.
- In 1820 the last of the radical changes occurred when the house was occupied by the Lybbe Powys family. It was changed from a gabled house to the current form with an extension to the north, an infill to south east corner, and a Portico added.
- Later Edwardian and 1930’s changes included the addition of bay windows to the east and south and the well known fake timbering
