Bridge House, 7 High Street, Annan

Bridge House is a large classical town house located at 7 High Street in Annan, dating from the mid-18th century with some alterations. It is a three-storey, five-bay structure with a basement, featuring significant changes made in the late 19th century, primarily involving the enlargement of the ground and first floor openings. The building is constructed from rubble with ashlar dressings and rusticated quoins.

The main entrance is a central doorway approached by steps with iron handrails, likely altered in the early 19th century. This doorway features an architrave and a consoled pediment, along with a recessed panelled door and a fanlight above. To the right, there is a second door, which was altered from a window, also approached by steps and possibly dating from the earlier 19th century. The house has a base course, sash windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern, an eaves/lintel band, a cornice, scrolled skewputts, straight skews, and a single ashlar-built end stack, with a thin brick-built east stack replacing the original. The roof is slate-covered.

At the rear, there is a three-bay elevation with central stair windows and a lean-to on the west side. There is also a recessed low two-storey west wing (No 5/7), which is not original but is similarly detailed to the main house.
