Description
Bridge House is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with alterations and extensions made in the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a timber frame and weatherboarding, with some red and painted brick on the ground floor, and has plain tiled roofs. The main block is two storeys high, with a roof that is hipped to the left, a cluster of stacks to the centre left, and a gabled section to the right that steps down to a later additional range.
On the left side, there is a two-storey and attic gabled wing from the 17th century, which likely had a jettied first floor originally, as indicated by the surviving jetty on brackets at the attic level. The left attic gable has a single light window, while each floor below features a three-light wooden casement window, with a boarded door to the right on the ground floor and a blocked mullioned window on the right re-entrant elevation.
The main block has three-light casement windows on each floor and a four-light window to the centre left in a raking projecting outshot. The right end wing has two-light casement windows on each floor and a catslide outshot to the rear. There is also a late 20th-century car porch with a tile-hung floor attached to the left return.
