Description
Bridge Green Farmhouse is a likely 16th-century timber-frame house that has been faced in red brick during the 19th century. It features a later black glazed pantile roof with gabled ends and an off-centre brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and four widely spaced windows, which are 19th or 20th-century casements set in segmental headed openings. A gabled porch from the 19th or 20th century is located in front of the chimney stack. At the rear, there is a later lean-to and wing. Inside, the farmhouse showcases exposed timber framing and chamfered beams with carved stops.
