Description
Bridge House is a large villa built in the late 19th century, featuring two stories, a basement, and an attic, with half-timbered details. The structure is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and has half-timbered gabled bays.
The principal elevation faces east and consists of two bays. It has a central recessed two-leaf door flanked by a four-pane stained glass fanlight and five-pane stained glass sidelights. A forestair leads to a four-light French window, and above this is a corbelled half-timbered gable projection with a steep pitch and a three-light window. To the left, there is an advanced two-storey half-timbered bay with four lights on both floors and single sidelights, with a bipartite window below. The attic features two windows. At the northeast corner, there is a three-storey advanced bay with a three-light window on each floor and single sidelights on the upper floors.
The south elevation is adjacent to a building that was remodeled in the late 20th century. The west elevation has irregular fenestration and later extensions. The north elevation is three-storey with four bays and irregular fenestration. It features an advanced central single-storey and basement bay with two basement windows and a four-light window above. There is also a single-storey and basement octagonal bay at the northwest corner with five external faces, spandrel panels, and a conical roof. A canted attic dormer is present in the left bay.
The villa has modern glazing, a slate roof, and tall ribbed stacks with cornices on the west elevation, as well as a corniced stack in the center of the east range. The interior was not seen in 2000. The boundary walls consist of a rubble front garden wall with semi-circular coping.
