By Biggar, Culter, Bridge Cottage

Bridge Cottage is a mid-19th century single-storey, L-plan cottage with early and late 20th century additions and alterations. It has four bays and is styled in a classical manner, positioned side on to the road within a small rural grouping near a small bridge over the Culter Burn. The exterior features coursed rubble with sandstone dressings and window surrounds, while the later additions are rendered.

The cottage has an advanced gabled bay to the left, which includes a projecting bipartite stone window with a decorative carved stone niche at the apex. The central bay has an advanced gabled porch with a small side window, and there is a lower recessed rendered bay as the far-right addition. A small arched attic window is located on the southeast gable.

The windows are a mix of timber sash and case styles, featuring multi-pane upper sashes. The right window on the principal elevation has lying pane glazing, while the later box bay and conservatory at the rear have non-traditional glazing. The roof is slate, with a rendered corniced ridge and wallhead stacks topped with plain clay cans. Cast iron rainwater goods are also present.

The interior, last seen in 2015, has an unusual floor plan in the entrance hall with angled corners leading to the main rooms. It features boarded timber dado panelling in the entrance hall and window reveals, along with fireplaces and four-panel timber doors.
