Bridge House

Bridge House is a house that was formerly known as Fornham Hall Farmhouse. It dates from the early 16th century and early 19th century and has an irregular form, built in three phases. At the north-west end, there is a one-and-a-half storey range that is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a plain tiled roof. This section represents the original farmhouse and features a three-cell plan, an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft, and various windows, including some original diamond mullions in one gable wall and a flat-headed dormer. The roof has side purlins over a doubled wallplate.

Extending south-east from this range is a one-and-a-half storey block that was added in the 17th century and is fronted with early 19th century white brick. The main part of the house is a two-storey, T-shaped block added in the early 19th century, which effectively doubled the size of the building. This section is constructed of white brick and slate, with the rear walls made of rubble flint, a string course, and plain overhanging eaves. The windows are small-paned sash windows in cased frames with shallow reveals. On the south-east gable wall, the two ground-storey windows are very deep, almost reaching ground level. The main south-west front features two tripartite sash windows, one of which was inserted in the mid-20th century. There is also a six-panelled door with sunk panels beneath a plain portico supported by square reeded columns.
