The Old Hall of Brough in Yell, dated 1672 with alterations around 1900, is a former laird's house that stands two stories tall with an attic and features three bays. The building has whitewashed cement-rendered walls and is framed by the remains of former yard walls on the west elevation. There is a single storey and attic two-bay wing attached to the north gable.

The west elevation is asymmetrical and has substantial buttresses flanking the central bay, which includes a 20th-century single storey lean-to timber porch. Above the porch, there are two narrow 8-pane windows on the first floor. To the left, there is a 12-pane window at ground level, while to the right, there is a narrow 8-pane window on the first floor and a blank space at ground level.

On the south gable, there are narrow 8-pane windows, one at ground level in the left bay and another at the first floor in the right bay. A section of the former yard wall extends to the left, featuring an archway with an armorial panel dated 1672 above it.

The east elevation is also asymmetrical, with substantial buttresses flanking the central bay and clasping a single storey lean-to addition. There is a narrow 8-pane window offset to the left on the first floor, a narrow 8-pane window at ground level between the central and left bays, and a 12-pane window at the first floor in the left bay. The right bay contains narrow 8-pane windows at both ground and first floors.

The north gable features a single storey and attic addition, with a modern porch in the west re-entrant angle, a gabled dormer breaking the eaves on the left, and a box dormer along with a lean-to addition at the rear. The remains of the former yard wall extend to the right, including a rectangular gateway.

The windows are timber sash and case. The roof is clad in corrugated sheets with crowstepped skews, and there are whitewashed cement-rendered gablehead stacks topped with stone copes and circular cans.

Inside, there is a timber scale and platt stair located in the center of the house. The south wall of the south room on the first floor features an early 18th-century lugged-architraved timber chimneypiece with a heavy corniced mantle-shelf and a narrow rectangular overmantle.
