DOWN ST MARY SS 70 NW 1/148 - Bradiford Farmhouse
- II
Farmhouse. C17, with possibly earlier core, modernised and enlarged circa 1840. Plastered cob on exposed rubble footings; stone rubble or cob stacks topped with C19 brick; slate and corrugated asbestos roof. House faces south and comprises 2 parallel ranges. Front range has 3-room plan with entrance hall and stairs between central and left (west) rooms. End stacks and rear lateral stack to centre room. Rear service block has large projecting rear lateral stack near right (east) end. 2 storeys. Regular 4-window front of 12-pane sashes with left ground floor window replaced by horned 4-pane sash and right ground floor window replaced by circa 1984 sliding PVC-framed French windows. Symmetrical 3-window arrangement to left around central doorway, a 6-fielded pane door with flat hood on shaped timber brackets. It is flanked by C20 buttresses. Coved eaves cornice to front only. Both roofs are gable-ended. Sides and rear have less regular arrangement of c19 casements with glazing bars and C20 casements without. Interior: only limited access possible at time of survey but enough to show that any early features are hidden by C19 and C20 plaster. However, front block includes late C17 straight flight staircase with flat-moulded handrail, heavy turned balusters and closed string. All fireplaces are blocked and beams are hidden except 1 roughly-chamfered bean in rear block. Much C19 joinery detail including fielded panel internal shutters to front sashes. Roof not inspected but pegged A-frame trusses with steep pitch for original thatched roof are said to survive. Plan of front block suggests C16 or C17 3-room-and-throguh-passage plan. In C19 Bradiford was part of Radford Estate.
