Bridge Cottages

Bridge Cottages is a pair of cottages that likely started as a single house, dating from the late 17th century or 18th century. The building was extended and divided into two cottages, probably in the 19th century, and underwent restoration in the 20th century. It features colourwashed stone rubble and cob under the eaves, with a thatched roof that has a half-hipped right end and a gabled left end that adjoins a hipped tile roof extension. The front wing has a gable-ended tile roof.

There is a large stone rubble stack with slate weathering at the left gable end of the original house, along with a lateral stack at the rear of the right end, topped with a tall rendered shaft and turned clay pots. The original layout was likely a two-room and cross-passage plan, with the lower left (east) room heated by a gable end stack and the right room having a lateral stack at the rear. The conversion into two cottages and the addition of a front wing occurred in the 19th century. The extension at the left (east) end is probably later and was originally open on the ground floor. A porch on the front of this extension is a later 20th-century addition.

The exterior has an asymmetrical north front, featuring a blocked doorway and windows at the center of the main range. The projecting gable-ended wing to the right has 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars, and a late 19th-century glazed door on the left inner side, with a three-light casement above. To the left of the front, there is a 20th-century outshut in front of the extension, which includes a 20th-century plank door and casement. The left (east) end, which appears to have been open on the ground floor, is now filled in and has 20th-century casements on both floors. The rear (south) elevation is asymmetrical with four windows, featuring large 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars and concrete sills. The interior was not inspected.
