Debdale And Adjoining Barn

Debdale and the adjoining barn is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house and cottage, along with a malting barn. It dates from the early to mid-18th century, with parts built in 1799, and was designed and constructed for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. The farmhouse is made of red brick and features a concrete pantile roof, with a single ridge and a right gable red brick stack. The gables are brick coped with kneelers, and there are raised eaves bands and a stepped brick plinth. The building has a lobby entry plan, is two storeys high, and consists of four bays.

The main doorway has a plank and part-glazed door that was originally under a segmental arch. To the right of the doorway are two tripartite casements, and to the left is a single similar casement. Above the door are three similar casements, with a single two-light casement positioned over the doorway. All openings are topped with segmental arches.

To the right of the farmhouse is a lower two-storey, two-bay wing built in 1799, also made of red brick and pantile. This wing features a doorway with a panelled and part-glazed door and a glazing bar overlight. There is a single segmental arched casement in a former doorway, and on the far right, a single blocked opening. Above this wing is a single casement.

Attached to the right is a single-storey, single-bay outbuilding made of red brick and pantile, which has dentil eaves. To the left of the house is a three-storey, five-bay barn, also made of red brick and plain tile, with brick coped gables and raised eaves bands. The barn features, from left to right, a domestic doorway, a carriage doorway, two domestic doorways, and another carriage doorway, all of which are now blocked and have segmental arches with brick hood moulds. Above these doorways are four fixed lights set at different levels, and a single fixed light above, with a single blocked window to the right. There are also blocked slit ventilators, and the top two floors of the barn are corbelled out.

Inside the house, there are large beams and bressumer beams over some fireplaces, although the interior plan has been altered. After a devastating fire in 1705, much of the village of Bradmore was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Parkyns to his own designs.
