Description

Bridge House is a mid-18th century house with a T-shaped plan and a rear wing. It is timber framed and has plastered panels, with a plaintiled roof at the front and a pantiled roof at the rear. The house has two storeys and features four windows with various casements. On the upper floor, there are two-light windows without glazing bars, arranged symmetrically. The ground floor includes two canted bays, an old three-light window with a transom on the left, and a 20th-century mullioned window on the right.

At the center, there is a two-storey gabled porch made of rendered brick, which has clasping corner buttresses. The porch contains a 19th-century half-glazed four-panel door, a semi-circular headed upper window, and lancet windows on the sides. To the right, there is another doorway with a half-glazed four-panel door. The house has a central stack with a heavy axial shaft. Inside, the structure features primary-braced studding, with some re-used timbers. One room contains re-used joists set flat.
