It is a sandstone house with projecting quoins and a slate roof. It has two storeys with an attic, and a symmetrical three-bay front. The windows are sashes with plain surrounds. The doorway has attached Tuscan columns, an open pediment, and a semicircular head with a fanlight.[1]
In 1822, the "Manor of Gisburn Forest properly belongs to the lord of the Percy Fee," but the abbot and convent of Sallay owned the wood and herbage. It came into the ownership of Thomas Browne, of Burton-upon-Trent around that time.[2]
