Description
3 Bridge Street is a two or more storey building with six windows, constructed from coursed rubble masonry. It features a steeply pitched quarry slate roof with plain close eaves and a lateral stack located at the centre of the rear. The top storey has six later gabled dormers with rubble cheeks, laced valleys, close verges, and bargeboards. The gables are rendered, and there are timber lintels above the two-light casement windows with stone sills. The first floor has six small pane two-light casement windows, also with stone lintels and sills.
On the ground floor, there is a sash window at the extreme left, with a modern glazed door next to it on the right, and modern glazing in a former 19th-century shop window adjacent. A sash window is located at the extreme right, with a modern glazed door to the left and a slate tablet above that reads "JLE 1773." There is another modern glazed door in a former window opening to the left, all featuring stone lintels.
At the rear elevation, there is a broad projecting lateral chimney with a tall rectangular stack and water tabling. The ground floor also has later outshots. The interior layout has been altered, but it retains an interesting plan form with paired inglenook fireplaces in the lateral stack, although modern windows and doors have been cut through. There are cambered bressumer beams and transverse roughly chamfered ceiling beams. The building does not appear to have been used for domestic purposes, possibly serving as a cookshop.
