The property has been fenced off with barbed wire with "Danger of Death" and "CCTV" signs everywhere. Meaning someone (or multiple people) have died or almost died exploring the grounds and that you're being recorded so if something happens you can be held liable. Go at your own risk. We did not venture inside :/.

If you like urban exploration, this spot should not be skipped. It is always a risk to enter an enclosed area but it is a wonderful ruine. Especially the staircase was a nice feature of the decayed building. It seems to be haunted according to some sources and I might have heard the voice of the ghost of the butler. However, it might have been my own lively imagination. Do not visit when the weather is bad since chances of slipping would increase and debris could fall down more easily. Visiting at night is your own risk...

To conclude, better service would have been appreciated ;)

It is nice to have a look, but very dangerous. The building has a fence around it so nobody gets inside.
We stayed outside and it was great having a look around the place. I don't know who owns it nowadays, but there is a lot to look at in the woods.

You can't get to see much it I'd over grown. Still a kice walk tho. But if you're driving watch out for the stuck up tools that live there. They think thay own the place and say you should be there and it all a privet Road. Just explain the right of access and what there faces turn all sorts of colours 🤣

As an architectural explorer I was fascinated with this great structure. Understanding the design at its age, it's a historic way of its day in the way the stonework is masoned by hand.
This is a beautifully untouched place🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏 respectfully an extremely high degree of honours should be credited for his design as in the 1800s there were very few architects that could successfully build such a structure. James Gillespie Graham has a unique concept of structural beauty as well as gothic features in masonry

What a hidden gem. Inside is dangerous and fenced off but you can see without entering. Really cool to see.

Google maps makes it a bit difficult to get too. Is literally a unmarked side street that takes you down to the abandoned building. Enter at your own risk, is fenced off but there is an entrance at the back right (based on being at the arch) beautiful inside with an awesome staircase for pictures. Definitely not for people who aren’t steady on their feet as lots of loose rocks and bricks. Great for urban exploration

Incredibly beautiful palace, but in very bad condition and dangerous. Very sad that someone allowed this beautiful building to become a complete ruin.
