Garden Railings And Factor'S Office Approximately 10 Metres South East Of Bidwell Barton Farmhouse

The garden railings and factor's office, located approximately 10 meters southeast of Bidwell Barton Farmhouse, date from the mid-19th century. The cast iron railings are supported by brick and rubble footings, while the office is constructed of cob and stone, with some 20th-century brick additions and a slate roof. The railings feature double gates for the front door and a small gate at the left end, with steps leading down to the right that connect to the factor's office. The railings are set in iron coping and include spear tops, a middle bar, and alternating half-railings. The round-topped gate-piers are decorated with acanthus motifs. The factor's office, which is situated over a store to the left, has a monopitch roof and external stone steps leading to the first floor, along with a reused oak flat-arched door. The interior includes late 16th to early 17th century moulded beams used in the floor. This structure is included for its group value.
