Description

Bridge Cottage and Dovecote is a pair of cottages that were originally one house, dating from the early 17th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with some plaster designed to imitate ashlar. The ground floor has been cased in red brick from the late 19th and 20th centuries, and the roof is covered with pantiles. The structure has two storeys and an attic, featuring a three-window range with 20th-century two-light casements. There are two doorways, each with a late 19th or early 20th-century panelled door and a simple porch. Inside, there is one internal stack.
