Bridge Farmhouse,Including Cider House Attached

The property is a farmhouse, now divided into two separate dwellings, with an attached cider house. It likely dates to the 17th century, although earlier fabric may be hidden within the structure. The walls are constructed of whitewashed stone rubble and cob, with a thatched roof over the lower end and kitchen wing, and asbestos slate roofing elsewhere, including corrugated asbestos on the cider house. A large stone rubble chimney stack is situated at the lower end, while other stacks are of stone rubble with brick backing, brick only, or of a hipped design. The original layout seems to have been a three-room plan with a through-passage, with a hall heated by an axial stack backing onto the passage. A low, two-storey kitchen/dairy range extends at a right angle from the front of the lower end, with the lofted cider house attached at its right end. A later rear wing extends the building, having a road-facing front entrance. The main range has a four-window facade. The 19th century windows are largely original; the left end features a 12-paned sash above a 20th-century replacement. The hall has tripartite 12-paned sashes with 4-paned sidelights on both floors. The lower end has two 12-paned sashes above a corrugated leanto roof porch, with a plank door leading to the through-passage and a three-light casement window with 10 panes per light. The kitchen wing has a large three-light casement window with 8 panes per light, and a three-light dairy window. The cider house has a 17th-century three-light chamfered mullion window with four pigeon holes, above a 19th-century two-light mullion window, both to the right of a plank door. The rear wing's road-facing facade includes 19th-century three-light casement windows with 8 panes per light, a 16-paned sash, and a 20th-century plank door with a canted bay window featuring sashes with margin glazing bars and a hipped slate roof. A brief inspection of the lower end suggests much of the interior is largely unspoilt, with earlier fabric possibly concealed by a 19th-century chimney piece and boxing in of a cross ceiling beam. A 17th-century chamfered doorframe connects the chamber over the lower end to the kitchen wing. One wing has a 17th-century roof truss with morticed and tenoned collar. The roof space over the main range was inaccessible at the time of the survey; the plasterwork mentioned in a previous listing no longer exists.
