Description
Bridges Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the mid to late 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a colourwashed rendered timber frame, a composition tile roof, and brick stacks that project from the building and are located at the ends. The layout includes a main range and a crosswing, with the main range being a single storey and attic, while the crosswing has two storeys.
The main range has a door, three casement windows, and a two-light dormer above, while the crosswing has two two-light casements. The rear of the building includes a door, a two-light casement, and a two-light dormer on the main range, along with a French window and a two-over-two sash window on the crosswing.
Inside, the crosswing features two bays of close-studded framing with jowled posts, a sunk quadrant-moulded bridging beam, and chamfered joists, along with similarly moulded mid rails. The first floor has a deep chamfered tie beam and blocked windows with diamond mullions. The roof is constructed with coupled rafters, collars, and curved windbraces. The projecting stack has been rebuilt and the fireplace has been narrowed, but it may still contain original bricks. The main range includes plank doors, an 18th-century roof, and central rooms with simple bridging beams, while the kitchen at the end has a chamfered bridging beam and joists.
