Description

Netherton and Bridge House is a pair of estate cottages built around 1840, designed in a Y-shape and standing one-and-a-half storeys tall. The cottages are constructed from random kidney flint with rusticated red brick dressings and feature fishscale slate roofs adorned with ornamental ridge-tiles. A central chimney stack has three attached red brick shafts, each with corbelled heads on a corbelled base. The three arms of the Y end in ornate shaped gables.

The cottages have Tudor-style 2-light windows with ornamental cast-iron casements set in rectangular chamfered brick surrounds, complete with hood-moulds above. The gable windows are arranged in panels of red brick, with one window positioned above the other. There are two plank doors that feature applied pilaster strips and rows of cast-iron bolts, along with small timber porch roofs supported on brackets.
