Description
This range of farm buildings, located on the south-west side of the farmyard approximately 15 meters north-west of Bridge Farmhouse, dates from around 1855 with some minor later additions and alterations. The buildings are constructed from roughly coursed slate-stone with granite dressings and feature slate roofs. They enclose the south-west side of the farmyard and consist of a barn with a cowhouse below and additional structures on either side, as well as a gabled range at the rear that houses a water wheel.
The barn has three round-headed doorways on the ground floor, with granite voussoirs; the outer doorways have plank doors, while the center doorway is partly infilled. There are wide double doors under a lean-to hood at the center of the first floor, with an opposing doorway at ground level to the rear. The cowhouse and hayloft to the right include a segmental-headed doorway to the left, a window in the center, and another doorway to the right, along with rectangular ventilation slits directly below the eaves.
To the right, a lower range runs at right angles, with a cowhouse to the left of the bank barn featuring a segmental-headed doorway to the right and two doorways flanking a window to the left under a continuous lintel. There are two 19th-century casements directly below the eaves. The higher range projecting at right angles to the left has a plank door directly below the eaves to the left, another plank door in the angle to the right, and a casement to the left on the ground floor.
At the rear of the left cowhouse, a gabled projection houses the water wheel. Inside the barn, there is a collar and tie beam roof. The left cowhouse contains gearing from the water wheel, which is made of iron with wooden paddles and spokes, and is of the overshot type, with water flowing over the wheel from a wooden basin. The water supply for the wheel is said to come from a stream in the wood above the farm, through a stone-walled water tank and a slate-covered channel. Bridge Farm is dated "1855," suggesting that these farm buildings were likely built around the same time.
