Introduction
The site had a house with grounds to the north of Dane Road. Barrow Brook is to the north beyond the site, with Salemoor Hunting Establishment to the west and Priorybank, a separate dwelling, to the east. This is a long rectangular site, with the house in a roughly central position. There is a lawned area with a thickly wooded boundary belt and path system to the west of the house. To the east is a possible walled productive garden and Jacob's Well. The house was demolished in 1932, but the site remains extant as a public park.
