Bradiford House

Bradiford House is a country house with 18th-century fabric to the rear, but significantly altered in the mid-19th century when the east, south, and west fronts were refaced in a classical style using painted stucco and stone. The house has a double-depth plan to the front, marked by recessed Tuscan columns at the four corners and a continuous deep eaves cornice. Wings project at right angles to the rear, forming three sides of a courtyard plan, with a stable block completing the fourth side.

The south front features a three-window range with segmental arched windows, moulded architraves, and arched hood moulds with voluted consoles. A low balustraded balcony, supported on Tuscan pilasters, sits above the central window. Canted bay windows with entabletures and low parapets, also supported on Tuscan columns, are positioned to either side. The east front contains a mid-18th century porte cochere with a canopy supported by two clusters of four Tuscan pilasters flanking a round-arched doorway with a plain fanlight and double-panelled door. Balustraded balconies and sash windows with Tuscan pilasters are present. The west facade has a three-window range, with some blocked openings and sashes. The rear wing, dating back to the 18th century, is plainer, displaying 2-light casements and timber sash windows with glazing bars.

The interior of the front room to the left of the entrance porch contains a plaster centrepiece to the ceiling, with an enriched cornice frieze extending into the bay windows. The courtyard, on the south side, features sash and French windows, while the east side includes large sashes and a 20th-century porch. A 20th-century extension is present on the west side. The roof is hipped with slate tiles, lead ridges and hipes, and brick stacks.
