Brandy Hall was built by Gorhendad Oldbuck in Buckland, who changed his name to "Brandybuck". It covered a low hill in Buckland and was expanded as the Brandybuck family grew. By the time of the War of the Ring, it had "three large front-doors, many side-doors, and about a hundred windows." The Gaffer referred to it as "a regular warren." It was Frodo's childhood home before he was taken in by his uncle Bilbo Baggins.

The head of that family was called the Master of the Hall, and his authority was acknowledged between the villages of Stock and Rushey.
