Description
No. 3 Bridge Place is a late 18th-century town house located in Chester. It is built of brown brick in Flemish bond and features a grey slate roof that runs parallel to the front. The building has three storeys and a cellar, with a plain painted stone plinth that includes a cellar vent and a stone kerb surrounding the cobbled forecourt.
The main entrance, located on the north side, has a door with six fielded panels and is framed by a simple pedimented case with panelled pilasters. The building displays flush quoins, painted stone sills, and wedge lintels. The first storey features a tripartite sash window with four panes, twelve panes, and four panes respectively. The second storey has a similar tripartite sash and a twelve-pane sash above the doorway. The third storey includes a sash window with three panes and another with nine panes.
Additional architectural details include a painted stone cornice and parapet course, a cast-iron rainwater head and pipe on the north side, and gable chimneys. The rear of the building has various window styles with cambered brick heads. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to contain features of interest.
