29, Bridge Street

29 Bridge Street is a house located in Hatherleigh, likely dating from the late medieval period with alterations from the 17th century and an addition from the 18th or 19th century. The building features rendered cob and rubble walls and has a gable-ended roof covered with asbestos slate. There is a brick stack at the right end and a rendered stone axial stack with a brick shaft.

The layout includes a room plan where the left-hand room is probably the hall, heated by the axial stack that backs onto a wide passageway leading to a rear courtyard. The presence of one cruck truss suggests that the house may have originally had an open hall and was floored in the 17th century, although this could not be confirmed without inspecting the roof space.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has three windows, featuring mid-20th century three-light casements. To the right of the center, there is a wide opening leading to the passageway, which has double 20th-century plank doors.

Inside, the passage is cobbled and paved. Behind the stack on the left side, there is a section of a chamfered plank and muntin screen. The left-hand room contains chamfered and stopped axial beams, while its fireplace has been blocked. The right-hand room features a roughly chamfered beam and an open fireplace with a roughly chamfered wooden lintel. At this end of the house, the foot of a jointed cruck is visible, indicating that more of the original roof may still exist, although a new roof has been installed on top.
