Description

Bridge House is a house that was formerly an inn, constructed from whitewashed rubble stone with a slate eaves roof. It features two large rubble stone chimneys, one at the south end and one on the ridge. The building stands three storeys tall and has four bays on the west side, along with a canted single-bay northwest corner that has a hipped roof. The windows are hornless sashes, with six-pane square top windows and twelve-pane windows below, all featuring stone lintels and tooled stone sills. The west front displays three bays between the chimneys and one bay to the left. The left bay has a blank window on each floor above a door that includes a four-pane overlight. The three-bay section has blank windows on the upper floors of the centre bay, which is aligned to the right of centre, and there is a blocked door on the ground floor. The northwest corner has a window on each floor. The north end of the building is windowless and includes a lean-to that was a former shop, which has a 20th-century tripartite sash window at the west end. The property has not been inspected.
