Description

Bow Bridge House is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble with red brick window dressings, and the left-hand end wall is rendered. The roof is covered in scantle slate and hipped, with three stone rubble stacks at the rear, featuring brick shafts. The original plan comprised three rooms, with an entrance stairhall situated between the right-hand room and the centre room; the left-hand room is smaller. All rooms were originally heated by lateral stacks at the rear. Behind the left-hand end is a single-storey wing.

Originally, there was a doorway in the front of the left-hand room. The front elevation features a 1:3 window range and contains 20th-century replacement 16-pane sash windows. The ground floor centre window is a tripartite sash with glazing bars, set within an opening with red brick segmented circles, jambs and slate sills. A 19th-century wooden trellis porch shelters a 20th-century glazed doorway on the right-hand side. The ground floor window on the left-hand side was previously a doorway. The right-hand ground floor window also appears to have been a doorway at one time, although it was originally a window. At the rear, the three lateral stacks have stone set-offs; the right-hand stack is smaller. A slated portico hood shelters the back doorway between the centre and left-hand stacks. The interior includes an original 19th-century staircase with stick balusters, a turned newel and a moulded handrail. The remainder of the interior was not inspected.
