 English Heritage describe the house as "a fine example of a Wiltshire manor house retaining especially rich fittings".Also Grade I listed are the boundary wall to Main Street, of c. 1600, about two metres in height, with gate piers at the southwest entrance and an arched doorway in line with the manor's porch; and an inner garden wall in front of the house, probably 1611.The second Grade I listed house, Talboys, is described by Pevsner as "A timber-framed house of great charm and value, although some of its features are deceptive".
