Bridgend Kennels

Bridgend Kennels is a detached house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brown brick with red dressings, limestone, and features brick chimneys topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building stands three storeys tall.

The front of the house has a central pedimented section that projects forward and lacks windows on the upper floors, featuring a round-arched recess instead. There is a stone cornice with a blocking course above this section. The outer parts of the facade have single-window fenestration with 16-pane sash windows, each having brick flat arches above them. A broad stone band runs at impost level to the central arch, with a lower narrow band cut by the windows. An off-centre gabled porch addition, which appears to be from the 19th century, has a round-arched doorway. The hipped roof is complemented by a ridge-mounted brick chimney that has ashlar bands.

The ends of the building mirror the front with a central round-arched recess and stone banding, but there are no windows. A parapet-mounted chimney is located at the northeast end. The rear features a central pedimented section that also projects forward but lacks an arch. The fenestration at the rear is arranged in a 1:2:1 pattern, with all 16-pane sashes except for the centre right window, which has 12 panes, creating an unusual asymmetry.

Although recorded as a clothier's house, the design suggests it may have had a more specialized use, possibly related to the nearby Bridgend Dyeworks, which has since been demolished. Documentary sources provide conflicting information about its history.
