Description
New Bridge Cottage is a house dated 1688, with alterations from the 18th and 20th centuries. It is built from coursed squared gritstone and topped with a blue slate roof. The cottage has two storeys and three bays, featuring an end-lobby-entry plan with a lower single-storey bay on the left side. The building is accented with quoins and has a four-panel door in the first bay, surrounded by a chamfered quoined surround and a deep moulded lintel inscribed with '1688 B B . W M'.
The windows throughout are recessed-chamfered mullion types, with five, two, and five lights on the ground floor and three, two, and four lights on the first floor. The first-floor windows are nearly twice the height of those on the ground floor, and there is a continuous hoodmould over the ground-floor windows. The cottage features banded end stacks, and the left bay has a large 20th-century window with a four-pane casement above it.
Inside, the main ground-floor room includes an open fireplace with a bressumer beam and a large ceiling beam with fine moulding on the chamfers.
