8, Elvet Bridge

No. 8 Elvet Bridge is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the late 17th century, with a front added in the late 18th century. The building is constructed of painted English garden wall bond brick, featuring painted ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with a renewed brick chimney. It stands three storeys high and has one bay. The house door on the left has been renewed, while a 20th-century shop entrance is located on the right. The upper floors are fitted with tripartite sash windows, most of which retain their glazing bars, and are set under flat brick arches. The second floor has a projecting stone sill, and there is a brick chimney at the right end. The rear elevation is gabled and four storeys tall, featuring blocked bulls-eye windows in stone surrounds and a Victorian canted bay window made of timber on the middle two floors. Inside, notable features include a 17th-century stone chimney piece with a four-centred head, an early 19th-century staircase, and Victorian woodwork and marble chimney pieces.
