The hall is placed on top of a low rise and looks over farmland towards the Lilleshall monument. As with many such buildings, the first 100 feet in front of the hall is manicured grass, bordered by a Ha-ha which prevented animals from entering. Behind the hall are a selection of buildings around a central square containing a Dovecote which once formed the farm supporting the estate. These buildings were renovated and sensitively converted into housing between 2001 and 2004. The central Dovecote is circular and forms an unusual dwelling. The hall and lands are currently owned by Adams' Grammar School and are used by them as their junior boarding house and sports fields. Some land was sold off in 2000 for private housing - now the "Longford Park" housing estate. To get between the school and the hall, one travels approximately one mile along Longford Road.
