The gatehouse (entrance range) consists of a bridge, moat and crenellated gatehouse.  The stonework and windows are from several different periods.  The two ground-floor windows to the right of the gatehouse were probably inserted in the 1630s.  The left hand end of the range was built to harmonise with the rest in the 1790s.

The family range (not pictured) is essentially fifteenth-century although the non arched windows were added at a later date.  The slits just above the water level are there to ventilated the medieval sewer.  The central ground-floor projection was also added at a later date.

The garden range was rebuilt in 1564 to 1586 to contain the new Great Hall.  It was clad in good quality brick in the eighteenth-century to match the eighteenth-century walled garden which it overlooks.  The lower left corner is part of the fifteenth-century construction. *
