Description
Ilford Bridge House is a detached house dating from around 1700, with later extensions added in the 18th century. The oldest part of the building is constructed from brick in Flemish bond, sitting on a stone plinth, while the remainder is made of local stone that is cut and squared. The house features a thatched roof with a coped and gabletted finial on the west gable, which is plain on the east side. There are massive brick chimney stacks in the center.
The house is single storey with an attic and has eight bays. Bays 6, 7, and the left half of bay 8 are made of brick, with a dentilled band course between the floors. Most of the windows are horizontal-bar casements of varying heights, all of which are 2-light except for bay 2, which is 3-light. Above these, set into the roof, are leaded-light casements, all 2-light except for bay 4, which is 3-light, and the window in bay 1, which is set lower. In the lower bay 3, there is a boarded door set into a heavy frame, accompanied by brickwork and a tiled open porch with a timber-clad gable. There is a blocked doorway between bays 7 and 8, featuring a cartouche of arms above it, and between bays 6 and 7, there is a small stone-surrounded single-light leaded window. The west gable has casement windows in stone, while the east gable has a dentilled band course at the eaves level and is brick above. There are various outshut buildings to the rear, mostly faced in brick. The interior has not been seen.
