Bridge House

Bridge House is a house dating from the late 16th century, with extensions and alterations made in the early 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered with panelled pargetting and has brick additions. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with machine tiles. The building has a five-bay, three-cell lobby entrance plan, which may have been larger originally, and it stands two storeys high with an attic.

The front of the house has a continuous jetty and a lobby entrance located to the left of the centre. The ground floor has 20th-century two and three-light glazing bar casements, which are transomed, along with a boarded jetty and a modillioned eaves cornice. There is a cross axial stack positioned to the left of centre between the hall and the parlour, with a rebuilt cap. The left end features part opening three-light leaded casements, while the right end has glazing bar and leaded casements. At the rear, there is a catslide roof over an early 19th-century colourwashed brick lean-to behind the parlour, which includes mixed lattice leaded and glazing bar casements. Behind the hall on the first floor, there are two four-light cavetto mullioned windows, a two-light lattice leaded casement, and a one-storey 19th-century lean-to with an entrance and leaded casements, along with a 20th-century addition to the rear right.

Inside, the hall and service end feature stop-chamfered axial binding beams and reset 17th-century panelling in the hall. The parlour has close studding and a three-light cavetto mullioned window, with an altered ceiling that includes double roll moulded crossed binding beams and a mid-rail, along with some run-out roll moulded joists and stop chamfered joists. The first floor has arched braces from jowled posts of rebated section to tie beams, and it is ceiled with stop-chamfered crossed binding beams and joists. The original attic contains a high-quality chamfered double butt purlin roof with cambered collars and large arched wind braces.
