Description
Lawford Place is a house built around 1790 for George Bridges, a local banker. The structure is made of plastered brick and features hipped grey slate roofs with double ranges and projecting eaves. There are external chimney stacks on both the right and left sides of each range. The house has three storeys and a five-window range of vertically sliding sash windows, with the second-floor windows being smaller and shutters on the first floor. The ground floor includes a full-width Greek Doric pro-style loggia with five bays, featuring central half-glazed double doors flanked by sidelights and a fanlight. To the right, there is a single-storey hipped extension with two small paned vertically sliding sash windows that also have shutters.
