Coldbridge Farmhouse

Coldbridge Farmhouse is a fragment of a castle that has been converted into a farmhouse, built by Fulk de Peyforer after 1314. The building features a 19th-century facade, with small block stone that is roughly coursed on the south elevation and evenly coursed on the west, accented by 19th-century red brick dressings. The right side of the south elevation is tile-hung on the first floor, and the roof is made of plain tiles. The structure is L-shaped and has two storeys set on a stone plinth, with flat eaves soffits and a hipped roof that includes gablets, with the left (west) hip returning. There are gable end stacks and an irregular arrangement of three 2-light casements. A half-glazed central door is located in a 20th-century half-glazed block porch. On the west return elevation, the cills and lower parts of the chamfered stone jambs of two first-floor windows from a taller, truncated building can be seen just under the eaves, one towards the north end and one towards the south. The ashlar jambs of an intermediate ground-floor opening are located towards the south end. The site is doubly moated, with an inner rectangular moat and an outer triangular moat.
