Description

Bridgeness Cottage is a late 18th century, two-storey, three-bay house located on Bridgeness Lane in Bo'Ness. It features a sympathetic single-storey addition to the east, which was added in the late 20th century. The exterior is harled and painted white, with painted margins, and includes a rear stair turret along with simple skewputts and thackstanes.

On the south elevation, the entrance door is positioned near the center, with a recessed two-bay late 20th century addition to the right. The roof is covered with grey slates and has gable end stacks. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case with horns.

The interior of the cottage has been comprehensively modernised. The boundary walls are made of red brick and feature semicircular coping.
