Bradbury Barton

Bradbury Barton is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the late 16th century, with extensions made in the 17th century and significant alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with an asbestos slate roof. It features a brick stack at the left gable end and a rendered stack at the right gable end, along with a brick shaft for the rear hall stack that is enclosed by a two-storey outshut.

The layout consists of a three-room and through-passage plan, with a parlour located to the right of the passage at the upper end, a hall to the left, and a service room at the lower left end. There is a two-storey outshut at the rear, with staircases positioned at each end. The overall plan development is unclear due to the entire range being reroofed in the 19th century. It is possible that the original layout was a two-room and through-passage plan, with a substantial cob wall separating the hall and service end. A similar partition wall between the passage and parlour suggests that the parlour may have been rebuilt. The lower left end of the hall is also partitioned, possibly in the 18th century, to create a narrow passage between the service end and the hall.

The farmhouse has two storeys and features a four-window range with 20th-century fenestration throughout, including two-light casements. A late 19th-century timber porch with shaped struts supports the canopy, leading to a four-panelled door with glazed upper panels. There is also a plank door leading into the service room at the lower left end.

Inside, some raised and fielded two-panelled doors remain, including one at the rear of the passage at the lower end of the hall and two leading to the chambers above the parlour end. A double brick creamery is built into the lower end wall of the hall. The chamfered headrail of a plank and muntin screen in the service end has been reused as an axial ceiling beam. Original fireplaces likely still exist behind the 20th-century ones in all three ground floor rooms. The chamber above the service room was probably originally used as an apple loft or wool chamber.
