Heaton Bridge Villa

This is a farmhouse, dating to 1749 and subsequently altered, now divided into two dwellings. The construction uses handmade brick in a Flemish bond pattern, set on a stone plinth, with rusticated stone quoins and a stone slate roof. The building has a double-depth, two-bay plan, unusually featuring an end-baffle entry. It is two storeys and an attic in height, with a facade of conservative design incorporating classical features. A doorway is located at the left end, with a splayed brick head featuring a slender keystone; two square windows are present on each floor, all with matching brick heads and triple keystones (though the glazing has been altered). A shouldered datestone is positioned between the upper windows, inscribed "H H". Gable chimneys are present. The rear elevation incorporates a modern lean-to addition at ground floor, displaying the inscription R H 1749. Above this, four differently sized windows are visible, including a central window which is likely an upper stairlight, and a small three-pane attic window. The interior features a baffle-entry leading to an inglenook with a firehood bressummer; the remainder of the interior was not inspected. The building's plan and heating system are unusually conservative for a house of this period and its external appearance.
