Description

Bridge Cottage is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of rendered stone rubble and has a bitumenised scantle slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. The house features gable end stacks with brick shafts. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with the room on the right being slightly larger than the one on the left, and the entrance is located off-centre to the left. There is a later 19th-century outshut at the rear right, which is one storey high with a loft above.

The exterior is two storeys tall and has a nearly symmetrical two-window front set on a plinth with a band course. The ground floor includes a 20th-century plank door in a plain raised surround, and 19th-century 16-pane sash windows to the right and left, each in similar surrounds with shaped aprons. The first floor has two 19th-century 16-pane sashes in similar surrounds and aprons. At the rear, the outshut features a 19th-century 6-pane sash window on the ground floor and a small casement window to the left. The rear of the main range has a 19th-century two-light 5-pane casement window on the first floor and a single-storey 20th-century addition on the ground floor. The interior has not been inspected.
