Bridge House Including Attached Outbuildings At Rear And Gate Pier

Bridge House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It features a flint facade faced with gault brick and red brick dressings, topped by a mostly black-glazed pantiled roof. The building has two storeys and a dormer attic, arranged in five bays. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with an overlight containing four ogee panes, framed by a block doorcase with keyblocks and a plain pediment. On either side of the door are two mid-18th century sash windows with 6/6 glazing bars, set in flush frames with exposed boxes; one of the sashes, dated 1808, is a replacement. The windows are topped by gauged skewback arches, and there is a platband between the floors. The first floor features five similar sashes beneath a moulded brick eaves cornice with modillions. The gabled roof is hipped to the southeast and has three gabled dormers fitted with early 19th century two-light iron casements. There is an internal gable-end stack to the northwest with a 20th-century addition. A square gate pier with a ball finial is attached to the far right of the facade. Behind the main facade is an early 19th century hipped staircase extension, and to the left of this is an early 18th century sash window with 6/6 glazing bars.

Inside, there is a stick baluster staircase added in the early 19th century, featuring a ramped and wreathed handrail. The roof has chamfered principals and butt purlins.

To the northeast, there is a range of two-storey outbuildings constructed of flint and brick, dressed under a gabled pantile roof. The roof has two pitches, likely indicating an extension made in the early 19th century to a late 18th century original block. The outbuildings contain various stable and carriage house doorways and windows, and feature heavy interior timbers that have been reused. The brick gate piers at Nos. 14 and 16 were previously listed on March 10, 1971.
