Description
The Bridge Inn is a public house built in 1900, with a later rear wing, designed by Grayson and Ould. It features roughcast over a brick base and a tiled roof, forming a U-plan with gabled re-entrant blocks. The building has a timber band over the ground floors, and the wings have jettied gables adorned with decorated bargeboards. The windows are mostly small-paned casements, arranged in groups of three and four lights. The gable ends include two-storey seven-light bow windows, with flanking lights on the first floor. The left-hand gable end has a tile canopy, and both gables have three-light windows.
A central gabled porch leads into the building. The inner returns have timber verandahs with balconies above, featuring splat balusters; the left verandah is now glazed, while the right has a glazed porch bay. There are two cross-axial stacks. The left return has four bays with a jettied first floor and a jettied gable on the first bay, which includes a bow window, while the other bays have canted oriels. A wrought iron bracket is located at the angle, and there are decorated rainwater heads. The right return is similar, featuring four-light oriels with a continuous band of glazing and a canopy, along with a lateral stack. The rear of the building has a nine-light bow window with an ogival shingle roof and a cusped fascia to the jettied gable. The rear wing includes three canted oriels with a continuous canopy and two lateral stacks.
