Description

Longbridge House is a pair of houses dating primarily from the 16th century, with additions from the 17th and 18th centuries. The houses are constructed of rubble, partly rendered, with rough quoins and dressed stone detailing, and have a pantile roof with coped verges and brick stacks. The design is of a cross-passage house, arranged in an "L" shape, with the main facade facing the rear of the block parallel to Cowl Street. The front elevation is two storeys high with six bays. It features 2-, 3-, and 4-light stone mullioned windows with ovolo moulding. To the right side is a flat-roofed bay with an angular design, containing eight lights, each with a 4-centred sub arch. The central doorway has a 4-centred depressed arch with a moulded stone architrave and a broad half-glazed door. Attached above the doorway is an 18th-century triangular pedimented hood. A further 4-centred doorway, set in a moulded surround, is located at the rear. A square projection is situated in the centre of the rear elevation. To the right side is a two-span wing of two bays, featuring 2- and 3-light stone mullioned windows with ovolo moulding.
