Description
Bridge Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. It is constructed of rendered cob on flint footings and extended in colourwashed brick, topped with a thatched roof. The building is two storeys high and has four bays, featuring a lobby entry plan that includes the original structure of three bays: a living room on the left and two narrower rooms on the right. The fourth bay is a kitchen extension added around 1940. The cottage has a boarded door set in a simple porch and paned casement windows, although the extension has 20th-century metal windows. The roof is half hipped to the left, with an exposed truss infilled with wattle and daub. Inside, the main fireplace in the left room is blocked, and there are spine beams with run-out stops. At the time of the survey in July 1986, the property was awaiting modernisation.
