Description
Bridge House Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that is now a private house, inscribed and dated on a coat-of-arms panel above the entrance with the initials N & JM, indicating it was built in 1677. The building features roughcast walls set on an irregular boulder plinth and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes yellow brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has four bays. The main entrance consists of a top-glazed six-panel door with an overlight, framed in a painted stone surround. To the right, there is a plank door within a painted architrave. The windows are sash style, set in chamfered surrounds, with those on the upper floor featuring hoodmoulds. An adjoining barn is noted but is not of interest.
