The description of Delburn House as appears in 'Gloucestershire. - The Cotswolds' by David Verey

"Delburn House on the west side of Gumstool Hill, has a distinguished left part built in 1741, ashlar faced, of two storeys plus attic, with heavy modillion cornice. Windows with moulded architraves, those on the ground floor with pulvinated friezes and dentil entablatures. The door hood in the plainer right wing is supported by one splendid acanthus carved bracket."
