Polebridge

Polebridge is a farmhouse that has been converted into a detached house and cookery school. Originally built in the 14th century, it underwent alterations in the 17th century and was extended in 1902 for W.P. Alexander. The building features rubble stone construction with tiled or Welsh slate roofs and brick stacks. It has a two-bay central hall with cross ranges that were rebuilt in 1902.

The house is two stories high with five windows. It includes casements and sash windows. An early 20th-century gabled porch with a pointed doorway and hoodmould is located to the left of the hall, while four small 8-pane sashes are to the right. The first floor has a moulded string course and two 4-light recessed hollow-chamfered mullioned casements with leaded lights.

To the right, there is a range with two groups of four sashes featuring hoodmoulds on both the ground and first floors. The left gable displays a family crest, and the date 1902 is marked on the right, with coped verges and moulded finials. The left range includes a two-storey canted bay with sashes and a pair of 8-pane sashes in a gabled half dormer. The returns have similar sashes from 1902.

The rear and interior were not accessible during the survey in July 1985, but the interior is known to have had a former open hall with a cusped arch-braced collar truss and a closed truss at the former service end, featuring an arch-braced collar and cusped V-struts, along with clasped purlins and cusped windbracing. A floor was inserted in the late 17th century, and the stairs have square moulded balusters, a closed string, a moulded handrail, and square newels. The building was formerly known as Church Farmhouse until early 20th-century alterations, and it may have served as the manor house for Great Sutton Manor.
