open triangular pediment. It features a stone fireplace with cable-fluted Ionic columns. The dining room features a rich cornice with vine trail and egg and dart enrichment that was added in 1857, when the fireplace was removed. The ballroom also features the same style as the dining room, with rich plaster panelling. A garden was initially laid out with the house, covering an area of 16 hectares. 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. The grounds were altered several times during the 18th and 19th centuries and walled gardens, a kitchen garden (to the north), grassland (east), large fishpond and boathouse (west), and woodland (to the south) were added. By the end of the 19th century, a new entrance from the north and a lodge had been added.

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 accommodation in nearby huts. The HQ disbanded on 31 Jan 1972 and in a simple ceremony on that day, the RAF Ensign at Buntingsdale was lowered for the last time.
