Description
Bridge House is a timber-framed and plastered house built around 1700, although it is now roughcast. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-window range on the first storey and a four-window range on the ground storey. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars set in flush cased frames. A central six-panel door is framed by a wood doorcase that includes a moulded architrave, frieze, and pediment. The roof is tiled and has a mansard design, with gabled dormers that contain horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars.
