Description
Bridge House and Pinetree House is a house that has been divided into two dwellings, built around 1790 with a rear extension added shortly after, and a mid-19th century kitchen wing. It was subdivided in 1935. The building features squared tooled stone and a Welsh slate roof with one old brick stack.
The west elevation, which is the front of Bridge House, has two storeys and two bays. It includes a central part-glazed five-panel door set in a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters and a cornice, along with renewed twelve-pane sash windows. The roof is hipped to the right, and there is an old brick stack on the left against the taller gable end of the adjacent house. The two-bay right return displays twelve-pane sashes on the right and a 20th-century twelve-pane casement under a renewed twelve-pane sash on the left, with a stepped-and-banded ridge stack.
The rear elevation, which is now the front of Pinetree House, features an arched stair window and twelve-pane sashes on the left, with the lower window having a boarded panel below the sill, which was formerly a French window. To the right, there is a projecting gabled kitchen wing with renewed twelve-pane sashes on the one-bay inner return.
Inside, there are six-panel doors throughout. Pinetree House includes a drawing room with a fireplace set in a stepped stone surround beneath a moulded stone mantelpiece, flanked by segmental-arched recesses and a floral scroll cornice. The straight stair has stick balusters and a ramped moulded handrail, with an egg-and-dart cornice at the stairhead.
It is said that the house was built for the stewards of the Ogle family.
