Description

East Bridge, along with East Bridge Flour Mills, comprises a two-storey office and house with a basement and attic, built in 1793. A later 19th-century bridge wing has also been incorporated. The building is constructed of ashlar, with squared rubble to the sides and rear, and a random rubble extension. Architectural details include long and short quoins, some droved, a ground floor cill course, mutuled eaves cornices, a plain eaves cornice to the wing, and a blocking course. The windows are characterised by voussoired segmental- and round-headed arches, pediments, hoodmoulds, keystones, and stone mullions.

The south elevation, which is the principal facade, features a slightly projecting centre bay with steps leading to a recessed panelled timber door. This is flanked by small-pane lights and a sunburst-astragalled segmental fanlight. Roman Doric-columned Venetian windows are positioned in the flanking bays. The first floor has regular fenestration, with a pediment that breaks the eaves. Three-part timber dormer windows are above the outer bays, and a rooflight is centrally located. To the outer left is a single-storey bridge wing supported by cast-iron beams, featuring a segmental-headed tripartite window and a clock in the blocking course.

The north elevation exhibits a variety of elements, including a single-storey extension projecting at ground level and two windows on the first floor. The west elevation has a small window in the gablehead above the bridge wing and a broad gablehead stack.

Timber sash and case windows with small-pane glazing patterns are present, along with casement windows in the dormers. The roof is covered in grey slates. Other exterior features include coped ashlar stacks, ashlar-coped skews with scroll skewputts and thackstanes, cast-iron downpipes, and decorative rainwater hoppers.

The interior includes panelled soffits, dado rails, decorative plasterwork cornices and centres, a cantilevered stone stair, classically detailed timberwork, and cast-iron fireplaces.

Adjacent to the office and house is a circular, harled and slated horsemill, along with associated harled mill buildings. The horsemill is to the west and incorporates a timber door with a louvered opening, a small-pane window, and a further louvered window.

Boundary walls constructed of rubble, decorative cast-iron railings, and a single segmental-arched ashlar and rubble bridge with a small stone weir are also part of the ensemble, located to the southwest of the house below the boundary wall.
