The Old Barn

The Old Barn is a threshing barn that has been converted into a house. It was built in the early 18th century and altered around 1980. The barn was designed and constructed for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. It features red brick construction with a pantile roof and a single red brick chimney. The gables are coped with brick and have kneelers, and there is a splayed plinth. The building is two storeys high and has five bays.

The main entrance is a two-storey doorway with a herringbone plank panel, flanked by single pilaster buttresses. To the right at ground level, there are two segmental arches. On the far left, there is a single 20th-century two-light window in a former doorway, which has a segmental arched drip moulding above it. Above this doorway, to the left, is another single 20th-century two-light fixed window. The rear of the building has openings fitted with 20th-century lights and blocked slit ventilators.

Inside, the barn retains tie beams with curved braces and curved Queen struts, along with through purlins and wind braces. Carpenter's marks in Roman numerals can also be found. After a devastating fire in 1705, much of the village of Bradmore was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny according to his own designs. The Old Barn is included in the listing for its group value.
