Bridge House Cottages

Bridge House Cottages consists of two adjacent houses, built in the late 17th century. These semi-detached houses face north and are two storeys tall with attics. They are timber-framed and plastered, with the ground floor covered in brick. The steep half-hipped roof is made of old red tiles. Each house features large corner fireplaces with ovens located in the rear outer corners, and the chimneys rise up the end walls.

The cottages have four structural bays supported by jowled posts, and stop-chamfered cross and axial beams hold up the floors. Stairs rise against the rear wall next to the door and fireplace. Each house contains a large and a small room on both floors. The front has a regular three-window layout with doors positioned between the lower windows. The upper part is plastered and displays 'ISF' and '1726' in raised and painted plaster below the outer windows, along with panelled pargetting that has painted black borders. The eaves are coved and plastered.

The upper windows are small flush box sashes with 6/6 panes. The pargetting wraps around the end walls up to the chimneys. The lower floor is cased in Flemish bond red brick, painted white, and features heavily moulded bricks offset to the plinth. The doorways are segmental arched, with recessed undivided sash windows. Each gable has two-light wooden casements that light the attic, and there is a gabled two-light dormer at the rear. A small cast iron pump is fixed to a post at the rear. The roof has clasped purlins without collars, but includes curved queen struts, and the rear wall plate features a face-halved and bladed scarf joint. The doors are made of old planks. The cottages are part of a picturesque group at the crossroads.
