Description
Bridgend is a three-storey building with four window openings, originally two houses. It features coursed rubble masonry and a moderately pitched quarry slate roof with plain eaves and close verges. There are three stone stacks, one centrally located above No 1 and a lateral stack at the rear left of No 3. The building has water tabling.
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 sashes, with the two on the right having had their lower glazing bars removed, and the one on the extreme left is modern. All have stone lintels. No 3 has a similar sash window on the ground floor, with shutter pintles. To the left, there is a doorway with a stone lintel and a modern door. No 2 features an unsympathetic modern shopfront. 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; the left one is blocked, while the right has a smaller two-light window, both with stone lintels. The first floor has a twelve-pane horned sash window on the right, also with a stone lintel. There are former doorways flanking a similar window offset to the right on the ground floor, now fitted with modern twelve-pane fixed lights.
The canted side elevation facing Smithfield Street has a former doorway on the ground floor to the right with a stone lintel. The second floor has a Victorian sash window to the left, and a similar window on the first floor with an adjoining doorway to the left. A stone staircase leading down to the street partly obscures the ground floor window.
Inside No 3, the hallway features an arch with a depressed shape supported by pilasters.
