Bridge House

This is a brick house dating to circa 1700, with stone dressings. It is located on Bridge Street in Barford, and is known as “Bridge House” - No 16. The house has a sandstone plinth and a steeply pitched plain tile roof with a heavy moulded plaster eaves cornice. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has three bays. A later square brick porch with a sandstone parapet fronts the central bay, with four steps leading up to a six-panel door framed by an architrave. The west and south elevations feature two-light cross mullion/transom casements. To either side of the porch, there are three-light cross mullion/transom casements, each set beneath flared red brick lintels with stone keyblocks and cills. The first floor has a central two-light window, and three-light windows to either side, all similarly detailed with flared red brick lintels, stone keyblocks and cills. Three dormers, two gabled and one flat-roofed, each contain casements. Brick ridge chimney stacks are present at the gables.
