Bradley Farmhouse

Bradley Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the early 17th century, with significant remodelling in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, alterations in the late 18th century, and an extension built around the mid-19th century. The original timber frame was rebuilt in stone rubble, with a red brick gable end. The roof is covered in clay plain tiles with gabled ends. There are two large, projecting stone lateral stacks at the rear, one internal, all with brick shafts.

The original plan comprised three rooms: a parlour on the north side and a kitchen on the south side, both heated by lateral stacks at the rear. Direct access from the front leads to the central room, with a fireplace in the rear corner and a staircase against the front wall. A single-storey outshut was added to the rear in the mid-19th century.

The west front is almost symmetrical, with three bays and 18th-century, three-light wooden mullion windows with leaded panes. The ground floor windows have transoms, all within cambered brick arch openings. A 20th-century glazed door is located to the right of the centre, above which is a blocked window. The south gable end is brick with 20th-century replacement windows, a small two-light attic window, and a cellar door. The north gable end has early 19th-century two-light casements on the first floor and attic, and a later 19th-century casement on the ground floor. The rear elevation has two large projecting stone rubble lateral stacks; the kitchen stack on the left is unusually broad and an internal stack, with a tall cross-mullion-transom window between them, with leaded panes. A red brick, single-storey outshut is present, featuring cast-iron multi-pane windows.

Inside, there are chamfered axial beams with cyma stops, some exposed wall framing, and fielded panel doors. The south room, the former kitchen, has a very large stone fireplace with chamfered jambs and a stone bressumer, along with two small cupboards with fielded panel doors. A corner fireplace with a heavy, bolection-moulded wooden chimneypiece and a staircase with a moulded string, splat balusters, moulded handrail, and square newels are located in the central entrance hall. The north room has a later fireplace with a brick arch and what appears to be a smoking chamber to the left. A chamber on the first floor over the south room has a stone fireplace with a chamfered cambered stone bressumer and a small cupboard with a scratch-moulded panelled door. A small chamber at the centre rear has a small, wooden bolection-moulded chimneypiece. The roof is a three-bay structure with closed collar and tie-beam trusses, studs, and rails, with one incorporating an old plank door. It also has two tiers of trenched purlins, and common rafters are intact. The cellar is vaulted to the north and south; the right bay includes a fireplace at the back with a timber lintel and brick oven, and the beams in the centre bay may be re-used.
