Description
Bridge House is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It features a colour washed rough cast exterior over a timber frame and has an old clay tile roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with two gabled additions on the northwest elevation. It stands two storeys tall and primarily has casement windows, along with a 2-light horizontal sash window on the northeast gable end. There are red brick ridge stacks on both blocks. A 20th-century gabled porch is located on the southeast elevation, and there is a later addition to the north, which is a colour washed brick structure with one storey and attics.
