Description

Bridge Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the mid 17th century, with parts of a 16th-century core and alterations from the 18th or 19th century. It has one-and-a-half storeys and attics, constructed from timber framing and rendered. The roof is thatched and half-hipped to the left, featuring thatched gabled casement dormers and an axial chimney made of red brick from the 17th century. The windows are 19th-century casements, and there is a two-panelled entrance door from the 19th century.

The layout consists of three main sections with a rear kitchen wing primarily from the mid or late 17th century. The left gable wall facing Bridge Street is a remnant of an earlier house from the 15th or 16th century, showing evidence of an unglazed shuttered window. The twin service rooms at this end were rebuilt in the 17th century. Inside, there are back-to-back 17th-century fireplaces serving the hall and parlour. A bridging joist and fireplace lintel in the hall, along with two sections of wall plate, feature trailing leaf carving and are reused from an early 16th-century house of above-average quality. The farmhouse was divided into three cottages in the late 18th or 19th century.
