Bridge Farmhouse

Bridge Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century. It is timber framed and has a roughcast render, with a roof covered in 20th-century red clay pantiles. The building has three bays facing approximately south, with an external stack at the right end and a two-bay crosswing at the left end, featuring an axial stack at the junction. This arrangement creates a rectangular plan. At the rear, there is a single-storey parallel range from the 18th century. The farmhouse has two storeys and a three-window range of 20th-century casements, along with a 20th-century door. The roof is continuous and hipped at both ends, with grouped diagonal shafts that are cement-rendered. There are shaped sprockets under the eaves. Inside, there are chamfered beams with plain stops, and plain joists of horizontal section are exposed throughout. In the main range, there is a cambered tiebeam with one of two chamfered arched braces, and the base of a crownpost is visible. In the crosswing, there is a steeply cambered tiebeam that lacks braces or mortices for them. Access to the roof is not available. The building is also referred to as Salcottstone Farm in the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England record.
