Description
Nos. 1 and 2 Bridge House is a former leprosy chapel that has been converted into a pair of semi-detached houses. It dates back to the 13th century and was extended and thoroughly remodeled in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of flint with stone dressings in the medieval parts and gault brick dressings elsewhere. It features a plaintile roof and has one and a half storeys.
The facade is symmetrical and consists of six bays. There are eight two-light casement windows with glazing bars, which are set beneath skewback arches and rectangular hood moulds on the ground floor. The first floor has half-dormered gables. The building includes two two-centred 13th-century doorways with plain chamfered reveals and hood moulds. The hood mould above the easternmost doorway is adorned with dogtooth ornament. Some original stone quoins remain in place beside this doorway and also at the rear of the building. There is a central axial stack with four angled shafts, along with two symmetrically placed axial stacks that each have a single angled shaft.
