Bradshaws Farmhouse With Attached Garden Wall

Farmhouse. Dated 1757, with 19th-century additions and alterations. The front is limestone ashlar with alternating chamfered angle quoins; the sides and rear are of roughly coursed and dressed rubble. The roof is hipped and covered in stone slate. Originally L-shaped, with a 19th-century addition forming an angle to the rear on the right. The front rises two storeys on a moulded and chamfered plinth and has a five-window front. It features two-light mullion windows within moulded architraves, with those on the first floor directly below the eaves. Two windows to the right of the entrance on the ground floor have been replaced with an early 19th-century tripartite glazing bar sash window, retaining the original mullions. The central entrance has an 18th-century pedimented doorcase with a pulvinated frieze, partially hidden by an early 19th-century stone porch with an ogee arch to the gable. The door is six-panelled, set within a fluted wooden surround with a plain rectangular overlight. The initials "EB" and the date "1757" are scratched into the lead flashing of the pediment. Integral axial stacks to the back wall, one on the left and one on the right, have moulded dripstones and capping. The left return has a cross window on each floor, with the first-floor window blocked with brick. The right return has two cross windows on each floor, also with dripstones, and the windows on the right are blocked with brick. A 19th-century lean-to is attached to a hip-roofed range at right angles to the rear on the left, and a gabled 19th-century range runs parallel to the main range in the angle to the right. The attached garden wall, built of roughly coursed limestone rubble with coping (ramped to the angles), is likely contemporary with the house. Inside, a dog-leg staircase leads to a central entrance hall with stone flags. The right ground-floor room contains raised and fielded panelling from around 1757, along with a contemporary moulded plaster ceiling cornice and a stop-chamfered spine beam with run-out stops. A 19th-century pilastered wooden surround frames the fireplace in this room. The left ground-floor room features an 18th-century moulded stone surround to its fireplace, with two more to the first floor. Wide floorboards cover the first floor and attic, which has a double-purlin collar truss roof.
