Bath House South East Of Bradshaw House

This is a bath house dating to approximately 1820, with a small addition made in the late 19th century. It is located south-east of Bradshaw House. The bath house is constructed of red brick in an English Garden Wall Bond, with a pyramid hipped slate roof. It has a square plan and is two storeys high.

On the east side, two stone steps lead down to the entrance to the bath chamber. The door is oak boarded, featuring three ogee moulded bands and hung on strap hinges to a heavy beaded oak frame. A gauged skewback arch sits above the door, and a flush sash window with exposed weight boxes and glazing bars is located at first floor level. The south side is approached by a flight of five stone steps with a quarter space landing and a plain metal balustrade and segmental handrail, leading to a room above the bath. This room retains the remains of a boarded and part-glazed door hung to a heavy oak frame with a skewback gauged arch above. A small opening, with splayed stone reveals, looks into the bath chamber. An added porch-like structure, with a flat stone slab roof and small side window with stone sill and a stop-chamfered stone lintel, is situated on the right-hand (east) side of the steps. The west elevation has a chimney breast that occupies one-third of its width and projects one brick. A sash window is present at first floor level on the north side. The roof features large slate tiles with hip tiles, a raised lead-covered vent at the apex, and what was formerly a cast iron gutter supported by drive-in-stays with shaped brackets.

Inside, the bath chamber contains a 3-metre square bath constructed of dressed stone, flanked south and east by narrow areas of natural stone paving. Six stone steps lead down to the bottom of the bath. The floor above has chamfered oak beams and oak joists, along with the remains of a lath and plaster ceiling. At first floor level, the fireplace opening in the chimney breast is blocked. Other details include torus moulded skirting, a dado rail, and the remains of wall plaster. The roof structure comprises a single King Post truss without struts, which supports the hip rafters, along with purlins, oak rafters, ceiling joists and the remains of a plastered ceiling.
