Description
Bridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse that originated as a 15th-century hall house, with alterations made in the 16th and 17th centuries and a refacing around 1750. It features Flemish bond brickwork and a Welsh slate roof, with a brick axial stack. The building has a baffle-entry layout with four bays and is single-storey with an attic, showcasing three windows on the front. There is a central 20th-century door flanked by two 20th-century casements. The steeply-pitched half-hipped roof has three late 19th-century gabled dormers, and the roof was slated around 1900.
On the right side, there is a 20th-century bay window, while the left side has 2-light casements and a gabled dormer. The rear features 20th-century French windows and casements, along with a late 20th-century addition to the left. Inside, the farmhouse has reused 17th-century chamfered beams with jewel stops, and the open fireplace in the central stack has a chamfered lintel also adorned with jewel stops. The four-bay roof includes base crucks that have been cut off below the plate level and features wind bracing, with the hall bay between the second and third trusses being wider. Originally, the 15th-century hall house was open to the roof, but floors were added in the 16th century for a solar and over the hall around 1700. The timber-framed walls were refaced in brick around 1750, and the crucks were cut to accommodate the brickwork. The building was divided into two cottages in the 18th century but reverted to a single dwelling in the early 19th century. The internal layout has been altered and the windows refenestrated since 1975.
