Description
Tofts Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early 18th century and early 19th century, designed by and constructed for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. It features a red brick exterior and a plain tile roof, with two prominent red brick stacks on the ridge and left gable. The building has raised eaves bands and a stepped plinth, standing two storeys plus a cellar and comprising two bays. The cellar has two segmental arches, while above it are a single tripartite casement and a single quadripartite casement to the right, with two similar casements on the upper floor. To the right, there is a lower 19th-century red brick and slate wing that has a single external red brick gable stack. This wing is two and a half storeys tall and also has two bays, featuring a blocked doorway, a single tripartite casement to the right, and a similar casement above with a smaller casement to the left. The top floor includes a small tripartite fixed light. After a devastating fire in 1705, much of the village of Bradmore was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Parkyns to his own designs.
