Description

Leyland Bridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1651 on the porch and has been altered over time. It features daubed render, likely on brick, with a steeply pitched corrugated sheet roof that has boxed eaves covering thatch and a brick chimney. The gable faces the road. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, although the entry has been altered. It is one-and-a-half storeys high, with a first-floor band that is covered by render. Most windows are 19th-century alterations in Jacobean style, complete with hoodmoulds and diamond-pattern leaded glazing in casements. The former front door is located on the south side, aligned with the ridge chimney at the junction of the second and third bays. The current entrance front is on the north side, featuring a gabled porch in the middle bay, which has a modern datestone inscribed with "1651," and a plain doorway in the third bay. The roof has a small dormer on the north side and a larger one on the south side. Inside, the middle bay contains an inglenook with a cambered bressummer and two cambered beams, all with stop-chamfered edges and seemingly re-used cruck blades. Similar re-used cruck blades are found in the service end and as purlins.
