Description
The Bridge House is a house dated 1764, as indicated by the lintel of a former doorway, with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed from painted squared rubble and features a pantiled roof with rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and five windows, with tooled-and-margined quoins.
The entrance includes a replaced door set in a stone surround, possibly with re-used quatrefoil-plan piers that support a chamfered stone hood. The right bay has a short angle passage with round-arched openings on both the front and the return. To the left of the centre, there is a partly-blocked doorway with an inserted sash, which has a lintel inscribed with "I.W. 1764."
On the right side of the former doorway, there is an early 19th-century 28-pane shallow bow window featuring a wood cornice and ribbed pilasters. The ground floor has four replaced sashes with flush lintels and projecting sills, and a small carved stone head is located in the wall above the left end sash. The first floor contains five replaced 4-pane sashes with projecting sills. The steeply-pitched roof has a coped right gable, a raised left verge, and shaped kneelers, along with a left end and two ridge stacks.
