Bridge Farmhouse Attached Front Wall And Gate Piers

Bridge Farmhouse, along with its attached front garden wall and gate piers, dates to the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension and later alterations. The house is constructed of red brick in an English garden wall bond, featuring a blue pantile roof. The garden wall is also of red brick in an English garden wall bond, with chamfered quoins and flat sandstone coping. The gate piers are made of sandstone ashlar. The house has a central-entry plan with a rear service wing added later. The front facade is two storeys high, with a three-window arrangement. A six-panel door is situated beneath a divided overlight, with an eight-pane sash window to the left and a sixteen-pane sash window to the right. Small-pane casements are present to the right and centre of the first floor, and a two-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sash is located to the left. The ground-floor windows have painted stone sills, and the segment-arched openings remain unaltered. A cogged brick eaves course is present, along with coped gables and shaped kneelers. End stacks are visible. A sixteen-pane sash window is on the ground floor of the left return. The service wing has a two-storey, two-window front, with a six-panel door on the right, a sixteen-pane sash window to the left, and a four-pane sash window further to the left. The first floor of the wing features a sixteen-pane sash window and a nine-pane fixed light. All openings in the wing are segment-arched. A coped gable and shaped kneeler are at the left end of the wing, with end and left-of-centre stacks. The garden wall ramps up on either side of the panelled gate piers, which are topped with moulded cornice caps.
