Description
The ancillary buildings to the east of Bridgend Farmhouse date back to the 18th century. This two-storey and attic structure has a symmetrical, three-bay rectangular plan, with a single-storey wing. The exterior is harled, featuring painted stone margins and roughly coursed rubble.
On the south elevation, which is the principal side, there is a boarded timber entrance door flanked by windows. The first-floor windows are evenly spaced and positioned close to the eaves. The outer right bay includes a boarded timber door with a plate glass fanlight above it.
The west elevation has a window on the right at both floors, with an additional window to the left at ground level and a small gablehead window above. The north elevation features a timber door with a three-pane fanlight in the bay to the left of centre, along with a window above and another window at each floor on the outer left.
The windows throughout have four-, six-, and twelve-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case styles. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar chimney stacks topped with thackstanes and a full set of cans. The eaves are deeply overhanging with plain bargeboarding.
Adjacent to the farmhouse is a former dairy from the early 19th century, which is small, harled, and slated. It features multi-pane glazing in a bipartite window on the west side.
There are also ancillary structures, which include a low, four-bay rubble and slate range that projects from the east end of the house. This range has a two-leaf timber door with a dormer gablehead, flanked by single doors, and a slightly advanced piended bay to the right with a door on the outer right.
The property is enclosed by flat-coped rubble boundary walls and ashlar gatepiers topped with dome caps.
