Stafford House And Adjoining Barn

Stafford House is an early to mid-18th century farmhouse, originally designed and built for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. It was converted to office use around 1985. The house is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof. It has single ridge red brick and 20th century gable stacks, and a brick coped gable with kneeler. The house follows a lobby entry plan, and is two storeys high with five bays. A first-floor band and a band over the first-floor lintels extend to the right side of the adjoining barn. The central doorway has four steps leading up to a segmental arched fielded panel reveal and an inner panelled door. To the right of the doorway are two sash windows, to the left a single sash window, and on the far left a single small casement window. Above the ground-floor windows are three similar sashes, with smaller sashes over the doorway and casement. The original windows were likely two-light stone mullion windows.

Attached to the left of the house is a three-storey barn of red brick and pantile. The left part of the barn dates to the mid-18th century and stands on a plinth. It features a large segmental arched doorway flanked by single pilaster buttresses, with two low blind segmental arches to the left. Above the doorway are five slit ventilators, with five similar ventilators above. A single opening with a shutter is positioned over the doorway, above which are nine slit ventilators. The barn also has two tie plates. The house interior contains bressumer fireplaces and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Following a devastating fire in 1705, much of the village of Bradmore was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Parkyns.
