Description
No. 14 Bridge Street is a house dating from around 1400, featuring a two-bay cross-wing that was part of a former single-ended hall-house. The structure is built of timber frame and plaster, topped with a steeply pitched plain tile roof. The south facade is gabled and has one range of windows, which are small-paned casements from the 20th century. On the ground floor, there is a window in a projecting bay and a boarded door situated beneath a shallow overhang from the first floor. At the rear, there is a late 20th-century one-storey extension constructed with matching materials.
Inside, the building retains a substantial timber frame, including first-floor joists that are centre-tenoned, with a former jetty exposed internally, where one jetty bracket remains. The central truss features arched braces to the tie-beam, along with a substantial square crown post that has in-line curved braces. The roof space still contains rafters from the former hipped roof and gablet, with supports for the bonnet to the gablet remaining in place.
