Bridgefoot Farm Stables

The building is a house, dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of plastered brick with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The main range faces southeast, featuring an internal stack at each end. A service range is located to the rear of the left end, incorporating one axial stack. A lean-to slate roof extension is present in the rear right angle, forming a catslide with the main roof. The house is two storeys and attics, with a four-window range of late 19th-century sash windows, each with four lights, and two 19th-century casements within gabled dormers. The central entrance features a 6-panel door, the top two panels glazed and the others fielded, accompanied by a moulded architrave and a flat canopy supported by scrolled brackets, all dating to the early 19th century. Early 16th-century spiral-leaf carving is incorporated into the doorcase. There is also a dogtooth eaves course. At the rear angle, there are two 19th-century horizontal sashes of 16 lights. The right ground-floor room contains a richly moulded transverse beam with spiral-leaf carving, along with richly moulded horizontal section joists, dating from the early to mid-16th century, as well as a carved and moulded mantel beam, which is now mutilated and likely from the same period. The transverse beam in the left ground-floor room is boxed in, but is of a smaller size, and the joists are plastered to the soffits. In the left first-floor room, the transverse beam has a roll-moulding. The roof structure features a joggled butt-purlin, seemingly from the 17th century. Within the service range, the axial beam is moulded, but possibly re-set, and moulded joists originating from a jettied building are re-set with the plain ends facing the beam. The walls are exceptionally thick, varying from 450 to 600 mm; the exterior was plastered in 1983. Historically, the sea extended to Ramsey village, and the bricks were likely delivered by sea.
