Description
14 Lower Bridge Street is a one-bay town house that has been converted into a restaurant. It has medieval origins but was refronted and rebuilt from the former Row level upward, likely in the 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble and rendered brick, topped with a grey slate roof that has a gable at the front. It stands four storeys tall, including an undercroft and the former Row level.
The shopfront features a modern small-pane part-glazed door on the south side and a single-pane window that may have an older surround with a simple plinth, pilasters, and fascia. There is a tripartite sash window with 4;12;4 panes on the second and third storeys, and a 2-light sash window that was formerly 4 panes on the fourth storey. The building has flush eaves and a lateral chimney on the south side.
Inside, the undercroft is accessed by four steps down and has its front bay surfaces covered, with a modern metal spiral staircase inserted. Towards the back, the medieval sidewalls made of coursed red sandstone rubble are exposed, and there are three oak cross-beams, two of which are chamfered. The second storey contains some old cross-beams that have likely been repositioned, while the surfaces in the third and fourth storeys are covered.
