Detached three-bay two-story house, built c. 1870, with original house dating to c. 1820. Complex comprising two-bay two-storey recessed block to west and single-bay two-storey recessed block to east. Four-bay two-storey extension to rear (north) elevation having single-storey lean-tos. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks to main building and east block, pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystacks to west block and extension to rear. Rendered walls with plinth course. Paired camber-headed openings having painted stone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Segmental-headed opening with glazed overlight over timber panelled door having flanking sidelights with timber risers. Tiled threshold to entrance. Segmental-headed opening to west block with glazed overlight over timber panelled door with flanking side lights. Multiple-bay range of outbuildings to north set around a courtyard. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs. Square-headed openings with timber battened half-doors, some with glazed overlights.

Bruree Lodge has been substantially enlarged over the years. The original house is now subsumed into the present house. Architectural quality and design are apparent in the form and window fenestration of this house. It retains original features such as the slate roof and limestone sills. The outbuildings to rear add context to the site and date from the original house.
