Description

The Bridge is a house built around 1880, constructed of brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and features three bays. There are rectangular bay windows on both the left and right sides of the entrances; the right bay window extends two storeys and includes sill bands, cornices, and embattled parapets, along with 4-light mullioned and transomed windows. The entrance is accented by buttresses and is flanked by incised brackets that support an oriel window above. The first floor is corbelled out and showcases planted timbers. The first bay features a 5-light projecting timber window with a cornice, topped by a gable that has timber framing and pargeted panels arranged in tall rows. The oriel window above the entrance has a 3-light configuration, a cornice, and a hipped roof. The left side of the building, facing the lane, includes a similar gable and two tall chimney stacks.

Local climate

The Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,050 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 22 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
