[1] The estate formerly included the remains of Fordhall castle, a monument scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 ("Ringwork and bailey castle 390m west of Buntingsdale Hall, List entry Number 1019659")[5] Herbert Mackworth later sold the hall to his cousin William Tayleur, who subsequently owned the property for many years.

Although by 1969 there was a modern kitchen serving the original dining room in the north wing, there were few other facilities, and staff officers who "lived in" had sleeping accommodations in nearby huts.

The rainwater heads are emblazoned with the Mackworth arms and crest, and an acanthus ornament at the junction of pipes and cornice, and straps have the initials "BM" and the date "1721".

[1] The north wing is dated to 1857, with identical east and west fronts, when the staircase was moved and the full-height entrance hall was created.

[2][3] The River Tern passes to the north of Buntingsdale Hall, with the main garden retaining wall west of the house, and an apsidal bow overlooking the pond.
