Wrongly shown on OS map as Ironbridge Farm. House. C16, altered in early C19. Timber framed, plastered with framing exposed, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. 3-bay main range facing E, 3-bay crosswing to left, and internal stack at the junction. C18/C19 internal stack at right end of main range. 2 storeys. Ground floor, one C20 casement, one C20 splayed bay, one early C19 sash of 16 lights. First floor, 3 early C19 sashes of 12 lights and one of 16 lights. Early C19 half-glazed door in gabled porch. Crosswing jettied at front but underbuilt, bracket exposed at left side. Another gabled porch on left return wall. Interior inspection refused in October 1984. RCHM 38 reports a moulded beam in the middle room of the ground floor, fragments of re-used C16 panelling, and original roof with collar-beams, principals and wind-braces, dated as early C16. The name Ewen Bridge is claimed to be derived from early documents, pre-dating the iron footbridge 150 metres to the NE.
