Description
Mill Bridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1694, as indicated by the datestone reading "IFL/1694", with later additions. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. It has been partly reconstructed and stands two storeys tall with three bays, the third bay being gabled. The farmhouse has a stone base and quoins, along with a brick band above the ground floor. The first bay contains windows, and the gabled porch has a segmental-arched opening with the datestone positioned above. The inner entrance features a two-panel door. On the right side, there are blocked three-light brick-mullioned windows, with the ground floor window having a cogged lintel.
