Description
High Bridge House is a lengthman's house that has been converted into a residential home. It was built around 1777 alongside the Trent and Mersey Grand Trunk Canal. The building is constructed of red brick and features a cement tile roof with brick gable stacks. It stands two storeys tall and has a brick sill band on the first floor and an attic band.
The west elevation consists of three bays, with a central doorway that has a panelled door and a rectangular overlight. There is a 20th-century open porch in front of the door. On either side of the entrance, there are tripartite glazing bar sash windows set under wedge brick lintels. The first floor has a single glazing bar sash window under a wedge brick lintel, flanked by tripartite glazing bar sashes, also under wedge lintels. The central bay rises to a pedimented gable that features a circular window.
The canal itself was authorized by an act in 1766, opened to a point near Stafford in 1770, and was completed in 1777. High Bridge House was constructed as part of the development associated with this canal.
