Description

Bridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the early 18th century, with a rear range built around 1724. A parallel range was added to the front around 1840, and an extension to the south was added around 1880. The building is constructed of Flemish bond red brick and features a tiled hipped roof with brick stacks, presenting a two-span roof design.

The entrance front, which is two storeys high and has four windows, reflects the 1840 addition. It has a central door set in a gabled porch, flanked by tall casement windows with margin lights and segmental heads. A three-brick plat band and flanking pilasters made of yellow brick enhance the façade. The first floor contains three 20th-century casement windows with segmental heads, and there is a central attic gable with a lunette featuring coloured brick voussoirs. A modillioned brick cornice runs along the top.

To the right is the 1880 extension, built in Flemish bond with vitrified headers, which includes casement windows on both the ground and first floors under segmental heads. The left return has French windows with margin lights on the ground floor, leading to the rear ranges. The rear range displays a datestone marked T.I./1724 on the gable-end stack. The right return features a central gabled porch with a glazed 20th-century door to the left, and wooden casement windows on the ground floor, with 20th-century casements on the first floor.

The two-storey rear garden front has a door central to the 18th-century range, with four-pane sash windows on either side. A three-brick plat band is present on the first floor, which has six four-pane sashes. The left bay is part of the 1880 extension. Although the interior has not been inspected, the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments recorded chamfered ceiling beams and a fireplace lintel in the 18th-century range. The 18th-century roof consists of four bays with arched collars and butt purlins, and the stairs date from around 1840. The house was built by Thomas Jervoise and remained in the Jervoise family until 1964.
