Bridge Farmhouse

Bridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, which was partly clad or rebuilt in the mid-18th century and 19th century using red brick, with later additions and alterations. The building features red brick that replaces or encases a timber frame and has machine tile roofs. The earliest section is a two-bay gabled cross-wing on the left, with a long hall range to the right. This hall range includes a late 18th-century two-storey gabled range at the rear and a brick outshut situated between it and the cross-wing.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic in the hall range, which has a floor band on the left side. The fenestration is irregular: the cross-wing has late 19th-century segmental-headed casements on each floor, while the hall range features a latticed cast-iron window to the left on both floors, and 19th-century casements directly below the eaves on the left and right, with a mid-20th-century casement window in between. To the right of the centre, there are mid-20th-century canted bay windows flanking a gabled brick porch that has a dentilled eaves cornice, and a late 19th-century half-glazed inner door with a segmental-headed rectangular overlight. There is also a segmental-headed boarded door on the front gable of the cross-wing on the left.

A prominent red brick ridge stack with three rebated shafts of star section and a base with toothed capping is located to the left of centre, along with integral end stacks on the right of the hall range and on the 18th-century gabled addition. A jowled wall post can be seen at the rear left corner of the cross-wing. Inside, there is a chamfered cross beam and an infilled inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel in the left ground-floor room of the hall range. The ground-floor room of the cross-wing features deep-chamfered cross beams and heavy joists, while the right first-floor room of the hall range also has exposed beams and joists. The tie beam of the central truss in the cross-wing is visible, and the unbroken wall-plate at the junction with the hall range indicates that the cross-wing is the earliest part of the house.
