Blunham Court Blunham House

Blunham Court and Blunham House is a small country house, likely built between 1720 and 1730 for Thomas Bromsall, with various 19th-century additions and alterations. The house is constructed of red brick and features hipped roofs, partly covered with clay tiles and partly with slate. The earlier block is located to the west, while later additions extend to the north, south, and east, creating a quadrangle around a small courtyard.

The northern block has three storeys, while the other blocks have two storeys. The west elevation has a symmetrical facade with six windows, where the central bay projects slightly. The ground floor of the central bay features a six-panel moulded front door with sidelights and a rectangular fanlight, all set within a stone Doric porch. Above, there is a Palladian window with a stone surround. The left and right bays, which were likely raised from one to two storeys at a later date, have sash windows with glazing bars, most of which are under slightly cambered gauged brick heads. The left bay includes a tripartite sash window on the ground floor, while the right bay has a full-length sash window on the ground floor, topped by a dummy window on the first floor. The facade is finished with a stone cornice and a stone-coped parapet.

The south elevation features three, four, and three window ranges, mostly of later date, with the stone-coped parapet continuing from the main front. The cornice is made of moulded brick, and there are brick bands on the first floor of the central and right ranges. The name "Payne" is incised in the brick surround of a ground floor window in the east block. Blunham House was once the residence of Sir Peter Payne, a Bedfordshire reformer active in the early 19th century.
