1, Bridge Street

This building, located at 1 Bridge Street, is a house and shop that dates back to the 17th century, with extensions made in the early 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with a roof covered in handmade red plain tiles and slate. The main range has two bays facing northwest towards Market End, and there is a two-bay wing at the rear of the left bay, which includes an internal stack at the junction. The early 19th-century wing extends along Bridge Street, facing west. The building has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic.

On the Market End elevation, the ground floor has one early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights made of crown glass, along with a 19th-century shop window that has four narrow vertical lights, two fluted pilasters, a plain fascia, and a shallow canopy. The first floor features a tripartite sash window with 4-16-4 lights and a 19th-century horizontal sash window with 12 lights in a gabled dormer. The same shopfront design continues around the obtuse angle into the Bridge Street elevation, where it includes a similar window, pilasters, fascia, and canopy, along with a half-glazed door and overlight that are splayed at the angle.

The Bridge Street elevation also has an early 19th-century shopfront with 40 lights (the bottom line of 10 lights is blocked) and a door to the left. It features three fluted pilasters, a plain fascia, and a moulded shallow canopy. On the first floor, there are two similar tripartite sash windows and one sash window with 3+6 lights, as well as a 19th-century horizontal sash window with 12 lights in the attic gable. The roofs of the Market End range and the rear wing are tiled, while the roof of the Bridge Street wing has a shallow pitch and is slated. The rear elevation is weatherboarded.

Inside the main range, there is a chamfered axial beam that is mostly boxed in, with plastered joists on the soffits. There are two wood-burning hearths that are back to back, each with a rounded right splay; the front hearth has been reduced to accommodate a coal-burning hearth and features an arched recess to its right. The building was undergoing alterations at the time of the survey in May 1987. It was known as The Green Dragon Inn in the 18th century, according to G.F. Beaumont's "A History of Coggeshall in Essex" published in 1890.
