Description
Bridge Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century, with few later alterations. It is constructed of painted stone rubble and features asbestos slate hanging on the left side. The roof is also covered with asbestos slate and has gable ends, with gable end stacks that have brick shafts.
The building has a double depth plan, with the entrance located off-centre to the right. There is a small room to the right and a large room to the left, both of which are heated by gable end stacks. At the rear, there are shallow service rooms.
The exterior of the cottage has three storeys and three windows, presenting a nearly symmetrical front. All windows are 19th-century 12-pane sashes with cambered brick arches. On the ground floor, there are two windows to the left and a four-panelled door with an overlight and a window to the right. The left side of the cottage is built into the bank at the rear, featuring a four-pane light at the first floor to the right and two 12-pane sashes in the attic. The interior has not been inspected.
