Description
Bridge House is a house from the 19th century, with an early 19th-century addition. It is constructed from local stone rubble with Ham stone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof that has coped gables, along with a hipped roof on the extension. The building has brick end chimney stacks and is two stories tall with a symmetrical three-bay facade, plus a two-bay addition to the north, where the second bay projects.
The house has a high plinth, rusticated quoins, and an eaves cornice. It features 16-pane sash windows, which are reduced in size on the upper floor, set within architraved surrounds. The central entrance door has six decorated panels and is topped with a semi-circular fanlight, all set in a recessed round-headed arch with seven steps leading up to it. The extension matches the main house but has plain ashlar surrounds and gauged flat arches over the windows, with the window in the lower second bay set in a large plain recess.
In front of the house, there are wrought iron railings about 1.2 meters high, which feature alternate worked diamond heads and barbed curl heads, set on a 150mm high stone base wall. The railings extend about three meters in front of the house, attached to the projection and returning to the southwest corner. In the center, there is a pair of Regency-style gates that do not match the railings. The house was owned for many years by the Hayward family, who were local flax merchants.
