Bridge House Gate Bridge Cottage

Bridge House and Gate Bridge Cottage is a house with a rear extension that is now a separate cottage. The building is dated 1718 and inscribed over the entrance with "T & B B" for Thomas and Barbara Backhouse. It features painted stucco with an eaves cornice and raised V-jointed quoins, topped by a graduated greenslate roof with brick chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high and has three bays, with a lower two-bay cottage to the right rear.

The entrance includes a top-glazed four-panel door set in a bolection surround, topped by a swan-neck pediment that encloses the date and inscription. The windows are sash style, framed in painted stone architraves. The extension has a round-arched sash staircase window with glazing bars and a smaller square sash window to the right. Gate Bridge Cottage continues under a common roof, and there is a lean-to extension that features a four-panel side door with a 20th-century lattice porch and small sash windows in painted stone surrounds.

This building was once home to Woodcock Graves, the writer of the song "D'ye ken John Peel."
