Description

North Bridgetown Farmhouse is a farmhouse and attached pound house, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with extensions added in the mid 19th century. The building is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble, topped with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends and a hipped end on the pound house to the right. It has a projecting end stack with a brick shaft on the left and a brick axial stack to the right of the center.

The earlier range on the left consists of a double depth plan farmhouse, with a central entrance flanked by two principal rooms that are heated by end stacks. A staircase is located in a two-storey projection at the rear of the passage, with two narrow service rooms in single-storey outshuts on either side. The ground slopes down to the right, where the house was extended with a one-room plan extension in the mid 19th century, followed by a further extension that includes the pound house.

The exterior features two storeys with a regular window arrangement of 3:1:1, with the original house on the left and the ground sloping down to the right. The front of the original house is almost symmetrical, featuring a central 19th-century panelled door with a slate hood, flanked by an early 19th-century 20-pane hornless sash window on the left and a 24-pane sash window on the right. The first floor also has early 19th-century sashes with 16 panes. The 19th-century extension to the right includes a 20-pane sash window on the ground floor and a 12-pane sash above, both dating from the early to mid 19th century. The pound house to the right has a plank door and 20th-century two-light casements on both the ground and first floors. The stair projection at the rear of the passage has slate hung sides and extends to the second storey above the lean-to slate roofs of the flanking single-storey outshuts.

The interior of the farmhouse has not been inspected, but the pound house retains its 19th-century apple press.
