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.

There is also a large orangery, drawing room, library and a circular glazed frosted dome allowing light to illuminate the hallway and staircase.

[10][11] The manor of Bunny was acquired as a dowry by Richard Parkyns when he married Elizabeth Barlowe in the 1570s, and it is believed he built the original hall.

After the English Civil War the owner at the time, Thomas Parkyns, was elevated to the baronetage in recognition of the family's support for the throne.

During World War II the estate and hall were bought by Bertie Edwards, whose son moved out and renovated the building.
