Description
Bridge House and No. 1 Aynam Road is a building located on a corner site in Kendal, designed and built in 1819 by Francis Webster for his marble works. It has since been subdivided into dwellings and features coursed, squared rubble with quoins, end pilasters to Bridge House, and a plinth to No. 1 Aynam Road. The building has a moulded cast-iron gutter and graduated slate roofs, with a rendered chimney at No. 1 Bridge Street and additional chimneys at the rear.
Both structures are two storeys high and consist of three bays. Bridge House is symmetrical, featuring segment-headed sash windows on either side of a part-glazed door set in a corniced doorcase. Above, there are segment-headed casements with a small wrought-iron balcony on either side of a fixed, semicircular-headed window on the first floor. No. 1 Aynam Road has a panelled door with a small fixed window and a sash window to the left, along with a casement (without a balcony) and two sashes above. No. 1 Bridge Street features a panelled door with two sashes to the left and one to the right, plus two sashes and a casement (with a wrought-iron balcony) above. All windows are fitted with glazing bars.
