Description
Bridge End Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of limewashed rubble with protruding through stones and features a graduated green slate roof with a stone ridge. The building has two end chimney stacks, one of which is corbelled and both have slate drips.
The central porch has a 20th-century glazed door and is surrounded by rubble walls, topped with a pitched slate roof and side benches. On either side of the porch are 20th-century casement windows under segmental arches, with two additional 20th-century casements above, all designed to be in keeping with the building's character.
Inside, the farmhouse includes chamfered oak beams with plain end stops, a small oak dog-leg stair with square newels, an inglenook fireplace, some late 17th-century panelling, and a plain spice cupboard.
