Hartford Bridge House

Hartford Bridge House is a house, dated 1836, with the initials WWB (William Burdon) on an outbuilding. It is built of squared, tooled stone with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings, and has a blue slate roof. The house follows a square villa plan. The front elevation has two storeys and three bays, with the bay on the left set slightly forward. A plinth runs along the base. Three steps lead to a central boarded door, which has fleur-de-lys hinges and a studded star-in-lozenge pattern above a four-pane overlight. Ground floor tripartite sash windows have square-section cornices supported by block corbels; the upper windows are 16-pane sashes, all set within alternating-block surrounds, with the lower window surrounds chamfered. Block corbels are also visible to the eaves. The roof is hipped with two stepped and corniced ridge stacks. A single-storey kitchen, with a 20th-century window and hipped roof, is set back to the right. The left return displays an 18-pane sash stair window.

The interior features six-panel doors, panelled shutters, a dog-leg open-string stair with stick balusters, moulded newels, and a moulded ramped handrail, as well as contemporary fireplaces on the first floor.

Historically, the house was built as an agent's house for the Hartford Estate, but in the mid-19th century it served as the Jolly Anglers public house.
