Bunny Hall is a 21,438 square feet (1,991.7 m2) grade I listed country house in Bunny, Nottinghamshire.
The house was originally an Elizabethan red brick house with an 80 foot high tower. The house was rebuilt in 1720 by Sir Thomas Parkyns, 2nd Baronet and now stands in 14.5 acres (5.9 ha) of formal gardens and parkland.[1] It has been equipped with a cinema room and a leisure area equipped with gymnasium, steam and sauna rooms, a large indoor heated pool and separate Jacuzzi and spa area. There is also a large orangery, drawing room, library and a circular glazed frosted dome allowing light to illuminate the hallway and staircase.[2]
The hall is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.[3] Several buildings and structures associated with the hall are listed Grade II; these include the stable block,[4] an out building to the north,[5] a barn dating from 1734,[6] the carriage archway and barns,[7] and the garden walls and garden outbuildings,[8] and the gate piers and walls around the park.[9]
A chest tomb near the hall and the sundial are also Grade II listed.[10][11]
