Description
Farmhouse at Bridges Farm is an 18th-century house with a kitchen wing that dates from the 17th century or earlier. The building features timber frames that are roughcast and has steep old red tile roofs that slope from west to east. It is a three-cell, two-storey house with a central chimney, facing south. The entrance is on the east side, connecting to an older two-bay, single-storey kitchen wing with attics, and there is an additional single-storey outhouse to the east.
The south front of the house has three windows on each floor, with the central chimney located a third of the way from the west. There is a six-panel flush beaded door at the east end of the front, which has a hood supported by shaped brackets, and a canted bay window at the west end of the front for the parlour. The windows are flush box sash types with 6/6 panes. The kitchen wing features two gabled dormers on the roof slope and two windows flanking the door.
Inside, there are enriched fire surrounds dating from around 1800 in two ground floor rooms and one similar surround on the first floor, which includes an early 19th-century cast iron hob. The doors are two-panel types with H-hinges and moulded architraves. A large tie-beam in the kitchen has been cut to accommodate the central chimney.
