Description
Wye Bridge House is a house that is probably mostly from the early 19th century and was restored in the 20th century. It is built of coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and has a stone slate roof featuring coped gables and moulded kneelers. The house has two ashlar ridge stacks and a gable stack.
The west elevation consists of five irregular bays, with the third and fourth bays set beneath a gable. The windows are recessed and feature chamfered mullions with gothic leaded lights. There is an off-centre doorway with an ashlar surround and a bracketed stone hood, behind which is a studded plank door that is protected by 20th-century glazed doors. To the right of the doorway is a 2-light window, and to the left is a 3-light window. Further to the left, there is another doorway with an ashlar surround and a pair of 20th-century glazed doors, followed by a 4-light window.
On the first floor, from the left, there is a 2-light window, a 3-light window, two 2-light windows, and another 3-light window. In the gable, there is a recessed square panel that features a sundial.
