Bridge Cottage And Canal Cottage

Bridge Cottage and Canal Cottage is an early 19th-century farmhouse that has been divided into two dwellings. It is constructed of brown brick in English Garden Wall Bond, topped with a roof of old slates. The building is two storeys high with a blind attic and features two bays. A two-storey, three-bay wing at the rear (north-west) creates a "T" shaped plan. The exterior includes a projecting brick plinth and two deep brick bands above the ground floor and first floor windows. There is a framed, ledged, and battened door set in a chamfered frame beneath a segmental arch. The windows are three-light flush casements with terracotta sills and cambered arches with turning pieces, while the gables and rear wing mainly feature two-light windows. On the south-west side, a later two-storey porch has been added into the internal angle formed by the rear wing; this porch is open-fronted and has a wedge lintel over the opening. Inside, both sections of the building have chamfered beams.
