It stood derelict in its moat and bricked up for many years, (see 1960's photograph at left) even being half buried up to its door level to provide easier access until the 1980's.

It has since been dug out and converted into a house, with a garden laid out in the moat. It has a new roof with windows built onto the parapet, and a wooden walkway to the door, built in a similar fashion to the original drawbridge across the moat. It bears an '8' as a house number.
