Description
Bulby Hall is a small country house built between 1840 and 1842 for Reverend William Watson Smythe, designed in the Tudor-Gothic style. The building is rendered with stucco and features ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof that has stone-coped gables and three tall wall stacks, one of which has three moulded ashlar shafts.
The house is two stories high with a garret and has a three-bay main front. The flanking bays are advanced and have separate gables, all featuring a plinth, string courses, and a plain parapet, along with rusticated quoins. The central entrance consists of half-glazed double doors set beneath an open four-centred arch, flanked by single rectangular bay windows, each containing a three-light plain transomed casement. Above the entrance are panelled parapets, with the central one displaying pierced decoration.
On the first floor, there are three two-light mullioned and transomed plain casements, and the gables contain single small fixed lights. All windows have segmental heads and moulded hoods. To the right of the main house is a single-storey service wing that has one unit and contains a three-light window, with a further two-bay gabled range behind it.
