Description

Bridge House, located at Cuddy Bridge in Peebles, is a two-storey and basement office building constructed in 1878. It features shops at the ground level and a workshop in the basement. The building is made of stugged coursed cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings on the primary elevations, while the secondary elevations are composed of rubble. The design includes raised margins.

On the east elevation, there are four bays with an additional angled bay to the right. The ground floor has a modern harled three-bay shopfront with a central opening leading to doors for two shops, flanked by large plate glass windows and an additional window in the angled bay. The first floor features a broad left bay framed by channelled pilasters, an entablature, and a blocking course, with a bipartite window above. The tall pavilion roof is covered with fish scale slates and has elaborate cast-iron cresting. Each bay to the right has a window, unified by a single gable that turns the angle, featuring a framed date panel reading "AD 1878."

The south elevation has four bays on a raised basement. There are seven blocked windows in the basement with segmental-headed lintels. The right bay is framed by pilasters and a cornice at the ground level, with a blind pedimented panel above, and channelled pilasters, an entablature, and a blocking course at the first floor, which has a window with a shaped apron. The three left bays contain a pair of partly blocked windows at the ground level with arched lintels, and three windows at the first floor, featuring long and short quoins to the left, a cornice, and a blocking course.

The north elevation includes a single bay on the left that corresponds to the east elevation, featuring a shop window at the ground level and a window at the first floor. To the right, there are three bays that are blank with a small basement window to the left, windows on both floors at the centre, and a modern door and window at the first floor to the right.

The west elevation has two broad bays on a raised basement, with windows on both principal floors and a door leading to the basement store on the right.

The building features timber sash and case six-pane windows, with four-pane upper sashes on the south elevation and four-pane lower sashes on the remaining elevations. The roofs are piended and pitched, covered with grey slates, and have ashlar coped skews and corbel skewputts.

The interior was not seen in 1994.
