Description
Bargaly is a house dating back to 1694, but largely rebuilt in the late 18th century, with subsequent alterations and additions. It is a two-storey building with a piend roof, accompanied by outer pavilions linked by single-storey wings. A substantial, later 19th-century gabled range extends to the rear, forming an L-plan to the northwest, and there are single-storey additions to the northeast. The exterior is harled with polished granite dressings, including granite margins and angle margins to the house, wings, and pavilions. A lintel course runs at eaves level on the south elevation, along with an eaves cornice.
The south (principal) elevation features a three-bay house at the centre, with a granite doorpiece incorporating detached columns. The windows are regularly spaced, with some later replacements at ground floor level. Single-storey wings are slightly recessed to the left and right, angled to the south, and feature bipartite windows. A single-storey, piend-roofed pavilion is adjoined to the left, with a central window facing south and another window to the west. A two-storey gabled pavilion, raised from a single storey, is adjoined to the right, with a central ground-floor window and two dormerheaded windows above.
The west (entrance) elevation has an early 20th-century gabled range to the right, set within the re-entrant angle formed by the house and the west pavilion. It has two ground-floor windows at the west gable and a window at first floor. To the north, it is four bays wide, with a two-bay rectangular projection containing a machinery door on the right and windows on the left at ground floor. Alternately semicircular and triangular-headed dormerheaded windows are positioned at first floor. A bowed, flat-roofed porch, with a door and flanking windows, is situated within the re-entrant angle, with a stair window above on a chamfered angle; a small window is to the right on the north elevation of the house. A window is at ground and first floor to the west elevation of the north range; a later addition to the left has a French door, a window, and two dormerheaded windows at first floor.
The north elevation includes a lean-to on the right and a narrow window to the north gable. A bipartite window sits on a chamfered angle between the house and north range. Single-storey additions are adjoined in the angles formed by the house, north range, and east pavilion, incorporating a variety of openings.
The east elevation showcases a two-storey gabled pavilion to the left, with a glazed door to the left, a slate plaque bearing a Latin inscription above, a window to the right of centre at ground floor, and a window to the right at first floor. Single-storey additions are to the right.
Window glazing is varied, with small-pane glazing in sash and case windows; 4-pane to the house and west pavilion, some 12-pane (including the bipartite windows in the wings), and multi-pane. The building has harled stacks, with broad, shouldered wallhead stacks to the east and west of the house, a gablehead stack to the north, and a wallhead stack to the north of the east pavilion. Roofing materials include graded grey slates to the house, wings, and pavilions, grey slates to the early 20th-century range, and purple-grey slates to the addition on the north range.
