Description

4 and 5 Bridge Street are shops and dwellings dating from the 17th century or earlier. The buildings feature a combination of 17th-century timber-frame and brick, with the brick exposed on No. 5. They have a Welsh slate roof with three gables at the front and a 20th-century brick chimney. The structure is two storeys high and has a three-window range, including 20th-century three-over-three sash windows in plain cases and architraves, along with a 19th-century two-light casement window in a moulded case. The gables are adorned with scalloped bargeboards and finials.

No. 4 has an early 20th-century shopfront on the right, which includes a part-glazed door with an overlight and a plate-glass window in a moulded case. To the left, there is a part-glazed panelled door. The shopfront features a fascia-board and a moulded hood supported by stop-consoles. No. 5 has a late 19th-century shopfront with a central half-glazed panelled door and an overlight with a glazing bar, flanked by two-over-two sash windows, and to the left, one-over-one and two-over-two sashes, all in moulded cases beneath a simple wooden hood.

The left side of the building has a returned shopfront, and there is a recessed passage to the rear with 20th-century double doors. A 19th-century two-light casement window is located under a simple hood above the passage, which features scalloped bargeboards. Inside the passage, exposed joists are visible, and the right-hand wall displays timber-frame and plaster from the 16th or 17th century. The rear of No. 4 has 20th-century composite tiles, a brick stack on the rear wing with a weatherboarded gable, and a massive rubble stack, along with enriched bargeboards on a small gable.
