Description
Bridge House is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has three bays facing north, with a central stack that creates a lobby entrance. To the left, there is a single-storey wing, and to the right, an external stack with a wing that has one storey and an attic above. At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to extension. The house is two storeys high with attics.
On the ground floor, there are three 20th-century casement windows and one 19th-century fixed window with 16 lights. The first floor has three 20th-century casements and two additional casements in feature gables. The entrance features a 20th-century door with a gabled hood. The external stack has four octagonal shafts that have been rebuilt at the top.
Inside, the building has chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists that are horizontally sectioned. There are three hearths with depressed brick arches, which were originally plastered but have now been stripped; the lower left hearth has been extensively repaired. The interior also includes jowled posts and a clasped purlin roof. Two original oak panelled and studded doors have been re-sited, with one having been cut down.
