Description
Bridge House is a two-storey house featuring three windows. The front and gable ends are constructed from local red brick, while the rear is made of uncoursed stonework. It has a random slate roof with boxed eaves at the front, a tile ridge, and brick end chimneys that have a dentilled cornice. The front elevation is divided into upper and lower storeys, with the lower storey further divided into unequal left and right sections by a broad timber band at mid-height. This band consists of an architrave and a cornice, supported by three finely fluted timber pilasters, and features a Greek-key fascia hanging beneath the architrave.
The windows on the upper storey and the left window on the lower storey are hornless sash types with 16 panes. The upper windows have rendered flat arches and stone sills. The lower right section has been altered to include a modern semi-glazed door beneath a rendered flat arch, and two re-used mid-19th century four-pane hornless sash windows, which have replaced earlier shop bow windows.
There is a door located in the left gable end with a panelled door casing. The rear elevation has three windows, a door, and timber mullion-and-transom windows set in brick-arched openings.
