Description
Bridgewick Hall is a 17th-century house, originally timber-framed, with a roughcast south elevation and a parapet. The main facade features a central front door enclosed within a case with consoles, flanked by two sash windows with eight panes over twelve. The first storey has asymmetrical placement, with French doors under Gothic fanlights opening onto a semi-circular, four-columned porch and verandah. Two sash windows with nine panes over nine are placed on either side. Behind the parapet are three flat-topped dormers. The roof is ridged and gabled, covered with peg tiles, and has red brick chimneys at each end; the left chimney has moulded offsets, while the right chimney is pilastered with a renewed top. Six plaster casts are affixed to the first-storey wall, representing the four seasons, along with two circular medallions, each depicting an angel and a child, which are copies taken from a fountain in Paris. The plan of the house is complex.
