Bridge House

Bridge House is probably an early 18th-century inn, with additions from the early 19th and early 20th centuries. It is now a dwelling. The building is constructed of brick, with some rendered areas, and has a tall, three-storey parapet front that hides low-pitched slate and pantiled roofs. It has three groups of chimney stacks. The rectangular plan is aligned north/south, comprising an eight-bay north part and a two-bay rendered range attached to the south. Horizontal bands run across the facade, stopping short of the corners.

The east elevation of the north part has a 3:3:2 bay arrangement, with a flat parapet and four corner piers that have stone strings suggesting capitals and a frieze. The central part of the elevation is recessed, with segmental-headed sash windows; blind panels are located to the right of the left-hand sash and to the centre of the middle part and to the right of the right-hand sash. An early 19th-century single-storey canted bay window is located in the centre of the recessed part, and to its right is a contemporary six-panelled door under a timber porch supported by thin columns. The left bay has an early 20th-century six-panelled door with two glazed panels. The lower two-storey south wing is now rendered but retains visible stone dressings at the base of the corner piers. It has 20th-century casement windows with segmental heads.

A small timber-framed return wing with a large brick stack is located at the rear of the north end of the main north part. A parallel asbestos-clad extension is attached at the rear of the main block.
