Description

Bridge End Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 19th and 20th-century additions and alterations. It is timber framed with whitewashed brick infill and a tile roof, which was probably originally thatched. The building has two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a 17th-century wing projecting to the north of the main body.

On the garden front, there are 14 x 3 cells of small framing with angle braces on the right side, and a doorway at the far right leading to the lower two cells, which features a four-centred arch. To the right of the centre, there are two 3-light 19th-century casement windows, and to the left, there is one 2-light casement window. A four-light gabled dormer casement window is located on the first floor to the right of centre, showcasing decorative small framing in the gable. The right side has 19th and 20th-century additions. The left gable end has replaced timber framing and 20th-century windows. At the rear, there are 9 x 2 cells of small framing with an angle brace on the left and a single light window on the ground floor to the left.
