Description

Bridge House is a house from the early 18th century that was extensively remodeled and extended in the early 20th century. It is built of brick with a rendered finish, featuring stone dressings, a timber eaves cornice, and a pantiled roof. The building has two storeys, cellars, and attics, with three bays and a later one-bay extension to the right.

The house has a direct entry with a chamfered plinth and rusticated quoins. The entrance features a six-panel door with fluted margins and roundels on the panels, topped by an oblong fanlight with glazing bars set in panelled reveals. The doorcase is adorned with fluted attached columns that support a dentilled pediment. To the right and left, there are early 20th-century canted bay windows with leaded panes and colored glass. A band runs along the first floor, where the windows have 20th-century glazing set in stone architraves. The eaves cornice is dentilled, and the roof includes dormers and axial stacks, with a coped gable on the left and oversailing eaves on the right.

Inside, the house features an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a ramped handrail, as well as a high-quality bolection-moulded fireplace in the room on the right side of the first floor.
