Large detached house. Early Cl7; early C19 additions. Random rubble limestone; ashlar chimneys; stone slate roof. Central house: 2-storey with attic. Two-storey additions to east and west forming long range. North side: cross gabled C17 house at centre retaining original 2-light recessed cavetto mullioned attic casement with hoodmould. Single-window fenestration below, both leaded iron casements, each having 2 timber lintels set one above another. Indications of altered openings to create this fenestration. Chimney with cavetto moulded cap to west gable of C17 house. Range extended to right in early C19 with 3-window leaded casement fenestration, all with timber lintels. Doorway below left upper floor casement has plank door and gabled timber porch. Earlier addition to left has projecting chimney gable; later outshut below with lean-to roof. South side: more original fenestration to C17 house, all recessed cavetto mullioned with hoodmoulds, 3-light to ground and upper floors, 2-light to attic. Mullioned fenestration to 3-window west range to left, 2 and 3- light, mostly restored. Timber gabled porch as on north side. Restored 3-light casement to east range; leaded iron casement above with timber lintel. Outbuilding range returns to north at west end. Interior not inspected. Parts of building are thought to be medieval in origin, but extensive C17 rebuilding has destroyed most of the early fabric. Early C19 alterations probably executed by the local architect Thomas Baker, his initials and date 1829 being on an outbuilding. (N.M. Herbert, 'Bisley' in V.C.H.
