Description

Bradley Hall Farmhouse is a manor house that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates back to the 14th century when it was owned by the Eure family, and it received a license to crenellate in 1431. The only visible remnant of the original structure is a possibly 15th-century barrel-vaulted ruin. The current house was added in the late 18th century and is constructed of sandstone rubble with quoins, one made of Frosterley marble. It features an ashlar doorcase and a roof covered with graduated Lakeland slate, complete with a stone chimney.

The building has an L-plan layout, with four vaulted chambers running north-south, which include arched doorways and a fire arch. The openings are filled with 20th-century vehicle doors. To the right, the modern addition of three storeys has two windows and extends from the ruined wall, which has a small square blocked window on the first floor. The left side of the addition features an open-pedimented Tuscan doorcase that contains a six-panel door and a patterned fanlight. The first bay has tripartite sash windows, while the second bay has 12-pane sashes, all with painted wood lintels and sills, except for a painted wedge stone lintel above the right window on the second floor. A Frosterley marble slab serves as a quoin on the right side, positioned one metre above the ground. There are relieving arches paired between the ground-floor windows, likely related to a tunnel or drain that extends towards the River Wear. The roof is a low-pitched hipped double-span design.

Inside, there is a one-foot-wide beam on the ground floor between the rooms, a boarded dado, and some early 18th-century doors.
