Description
Thingley Bridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse and barn dating from the 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the early 18th century and later. The building features stone rubble walls, a stone slate roof on the house, and a corrugated iron roof on the barn, with the upper parts of the stacks made of 20th-century brick. The original 17th-century structure has a two-unit plan, with a hall to the left that includes a gable fireplace and an entry/service area to the right with opposed doors. It is now two storeys with an attic, but originally appears to have been a single storey based on a break in the southeast quoin. The early 18th-century addition to the right has a single unit plan with a gable fireplace and an adjacent stair. The barn on the left is also from the early 18th century and was altered in the 19th century when part of it was incorporated into the house. There are single-storey additions to the rear from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The front of the farmhouse has early 18th-century windows with three lights, featuring stone mullions with cyma moulding and hoodmoulds above, and single-hung sashes in the centre lights. At the first floor level, there are three symmetrically placed windows. On the ground floor, there is one window to the right of the doorway that aligns with the window above, featuring a slightly projecting apron that extends to ground level, and one window to the left in the centre of the hall. The main doorway is centrally located, with a chamfered stone surround and a six-panel door, two of which are glazed. Adjacent to the left is a small 19th-century single light casement window in a roll-moulded stair surround. The farmhouse has two gable stacks. The barn to the left features a large central doorway with a plain stable door to the left. To the right, there is a plain chamfered doorway with a six-panel door and a two-light stone mullion window to the left, both from the 19th century, partly under a hoodmould that survives from an early 18th-century two-light window; a complete arch from that window remains, although it is blocked at the first floor level.
The interior of the farmhouse has largely been gutted, but part of a 17th-century plank and muntin partition between the hall and cross-passage is still visible. On the first floor of the early 18th-century addition, there is a bolection-moulded chimney piece.
