Range of farmbuildings comprising barn with cowhouse below and to either side
plus gabled range to rear housing water-wheel. Circa 1855 with minor later
additions and alterations. Roughly coursed slate-stone with granite dressings;
slate roofs. Encloses south-west side of farmyard. Bank barn has 3 round-
headed doorways with granite voussoirs to ground floor, outer with plank doors,
centre partly infilled. Wide double doors under lean-to hood to centre on
first floor with opposing doorway at ground level to rear. Cowhouse/hayloft
to right has segmental-headed doorway to left, window to centre and another
doorway to right; rectangular ventilation slits directly below eaves. Lower
range at right-angles to right. Cowhouse to left of bank barn has segmental
headed doorway to right and 2 doorways flanking window to left under continuous
lintel. Two C19 casements directly below eaves. Higher range projecting
at right angles to left has plank door directly below eaves to left; plank
door in angle to right and casement to left on ground floor. Gabled projection

Interior: Collar and tie beam roof to barn. Left cowhouse has gearing from
water wheel. This is of iron with wooden paddles and spokes, of overshot
type with water coming down over wheel through wooden basin. The water supply
for the wheel is said to come from a stream in the wood above the farm, via
a stone-walled water tank and lastly a slate-covered channel. Bridge Farm
is dated "1855" and the farmbuildings are probably contemporary with it.
