Description

Bradford Court is a house located in Bradford-on-Tone, dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed local stone rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring quoins, a string course, and a moulded plinth. The roof is plain clay tiled with coped verges and stepped kneelers, and it has tall stone stacks. The building is designed in a U-shape, with an entrance porch at the center of the southeast front and a service wing set back to the northeast.

The entrance front has two storeys and is arranged in a 3;2;3 bay configuration. It features stone mullioned and transomed windows with leaded glass. The outer bays have gable ends, with single light windows on the first floor flanking the central three-light windows. On the ground floor, there are mullioned and transomed windows flanking single lights in the end bays. The porch is made of projecting ashlar and includes a cartouche and strapwork cresting above the entablature of a flat pilaster doorcase, which has a semi-circular headed doorway with shields in the spandrels and an 8-panel double door. The left return, or southwest front, also has two storeys and features two single-storey projecting bays. The left bay is canted with mullioned and transomed windows, while the right bay is rectangular with inserted French windows, both adorned with strapwork and lettering above the parapets in a style reminiscent of Oriel College, Oxford. The interior has not been seen. The house was probably built for a member of the Eastern family.
