The exterior of the property was in a Palladian style whilst the interior was an elegant baroque style.

 

It was describe by the French Travel writer of the time Pierre-Jean Grosley as equal to the hotels of nobility in Paris.

 

In 1869 the house was sold to Charles Magiac as he faced demolition. Charles Magiac constructed a row of terrace housing to the rear of the property, he named this area
