Pevsner describes Bourton Hall as a stately ashlar building. It appears to be Georgian with additions from about 1850. The east side has pedimented windows and the south side has Ionic columns. A chapel is connected to the house by a two storeyed wooden quadrant gallery. This is of some interest with a Quattrocento facade and a copy of Raphael's Sposalizio.

Today the hall is home to the Bourton Group (visit link) who run a management consultancy company here.

The hall and the gate piers are Grade II Listed and details on the listing can be viewed here: (visit link)
