Description
Digswell Bridge is an 18th-century cottage that stands two storeys high, constructed from red brick with a hipped tile roof and a central chimney stack. The building features four casement windows with leaded glazing bars, where the upper line of lights is adorned with Gothic arcading, although this detail is likely modern. On the ground floor, there are five windows with segmental heads, also casements. A modern gabled porch and door have been added to the front. To the right, there is a modern garage extension, and a one-storey extension at the rear, both of which are not of interest.
