Description

Pool Bridge Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with some 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of random rubble and features a triple-Roman tile roof divided into three sections, with two rubble and two brick stacks and coped verges. Originally designed as a cross-passage plan house, it has one storey and an attic.

The front has two windows on the ground floor: to the left is a 19th-century two-light casement with horizontal glazing bars, and to the right is a renewed three-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window. There is a half-glazed lean-to on the left side of the front, topped with a triple-Roman tile roof and featuring a 20th-century half-glazed door. A further rubble lean-to obscures the right side of the front, also with a triple-Roman tile roof, three 20th-century skylights, and an additional 20th-century window on the ground floor. A gabled dormer with a 19th-century casement is located to the right of the roof. The door opening is nearly central and contains a six-panelled door.

Inside, there are some 17th-century features, including a moulded cross-beam ceiling in the right ground floor room, which also has an inglenook fireplace with a broad moulded wooden bressumer and chamfered dressed stone jambs. Some 17th-century roof timbers are still present. The house is currently being divided into two units; the left half will continue to be known as Pool Bridge Farmhouse, while the right half will be called West Wing.
