Bridge End Farmhouse

Bridge End Farmhouse is likely from the later 17th century, and has been altered and enlarged since its original construction. It is built of roughcast over handmade brick on a stone plinth, with slate and red tile roofs. The farmhouse originally had a two-bay end-baffle-entry plan, which has been altered, with a rear wing added to create a T-shaped layout. It is two storeys high, with a first-floor band running around the whole building. The front façade is now symmetrical, featuring a centrally placed door (a later addition) and two small casement windows on each floor. A chimney is located on the right gable, and a corner chimney at the left end. The right gable wall includes a small sliding sash window with small panes, originally a fire window, and towards the rear there is a blocked doorway now concealed by the roughcast. The rear has a two-storey wing, now reduced to one bay, and an outshut projecting from the first bay. Inside the house, the room in the second bay contains a large inglenook fireplace with a bressummer that is chamfered on both sides and has tongue-stopped ends. It also has a matching lateral beam, and a former external door that has been altered into a cupboard. The parlour in the first bay has a similar beam and a cross-corner fireplace, which is altered. On the first floor, a large roof truss is visible, featuring a chamfered tie-beam and angle struts.
