Description

Bridgend is a three-storey building with four windows that was formerly two houses. It is constructed of coursed rubble masonry and has a moderately pitched quarry slate roof with plain eaves and close verges. The building features three stone stacks, with one centrally located above No 1 and a lateral stack at the rear left of No 3. Water tabling is present along the roofline.

On the second floor, there are shallow six-pane sash windows set under the eaves. The second window from the right has been blocked and raised into a slate-hung gablet. The first floor has twelve-pane sash windows, with the two on the right having had their lower glazing bars removed, while the extreme left window is modern. All windows have stone lintels. No 3 has a similar sash window on the ground floor, complete with shutter pintles, and a doorway to the left with a stone lintel and a modern door. No 2 features an unsympathetic modern shopfront, while No 1 has two doorways to the left with stone lintels and a modern window to the right.

The side elevation facing Bridge Street has two windows on the second floor, with the left window blocked and a smaller two-light window to the right, both with stone lintels. The right side of the first floor has a twelve-pane horned sash window with a stone lintel. There are former doorways with modern twelve-pane fixed lights flanking a similar window offset to the right on the ground floor.

The canted side elevation facing Smithfield Street includes a former doorway on the ground floor to the right with a stone lintel. A Victorian sash window is located on the second floor to the left, and a similar window is present on the first floor with a doorway adjoining to the left. A stone staircase leading down to the street partly obscures the ground floor window.

Inside No 3, the hallway retains an arch with a depressed shape supported by pilasters.
