Lower Kinnerton Hall, also known as Bridge Farmhouse, stands adjacent to the England-Wales border to the west of the village of Lower Kinnerton, Cheshire, England. The house is dated 1685, and carries the initials TTET.[1] Attached to it is a shippon (cattle-shed) dating from the 18th century.[2] A wing was added to the rear in the 19th century.[1] The house is constructed in brown brick with stone dressings, and has a slated roof. It is in two storeys and its entrance front has five bays.[2] There are three large Dutch gables on the entrance front, and another on the north face, each with reverse-curved scrolls supporting pediments.[1] The windows are casements. At the rear of the house is a semi-hexagonal bay window and a timber-framed porch. The shippon is also in two storeys, and constructed in brick with slate roofs.[2] Also at the rear of the house is a cobbled courtyard.[1] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes the building as "quite an impressive house".[3] The house and attached shippon are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[2]
