Description

Blackcliffe Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1700, designed and constructed for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. It is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building has red brick stacks on the right gable and a single ridge, with brick coped gables that include kneelers. There is a first-floor band that runs over the first-floor openings. The farmhouse has a lobby entry plan and consists of two storeys with four bays. The doorway has a segmental arched reveal and an inner plank door. To the right of the doorway are two ashlar mullion two-light casements, with a single similar casement to the left and four similar casements above, including one over the doorway that has lead glazing bars. Attached to the left is a lean-to made of red brick and pantiles. Inside, there is a chamfered bressumer beam over the fireplace. Following a devastating fire in 1705, much of the village of Bradmore was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Parkyns to his own designs.
