Description
This building is a cottage located 12 meters south of The Rancliffe Arms, originally a barn and pigeoncote from the early 18th century. It was designed and built for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. The structure is made of red brick with a plain tile roof and features two red brick gable stacks. The gables are brick coped with kneelers, and there is a raised eaves band. The base of the building is splayed out. It is two storeys high and consists of four bays.
There is a blocked doorway with an overlight under a segmental arch, and to the left, there is a single blocked window opening. Further left and right are single 20th-century canted blocked windows. Above, there are three 20th-century casements, with the central one being smaller. The left gable wall is corbelled out on the first floor and has 17 rows of entrances for birds and flight perches. Sir Thomas Parkyns Bart. (circa 1662-1741) made significant improvements to and rebuilt much of Bunny according to his own designs.
