Description
5 and 6 Bridge Street is an early 19th-century, two-storey house with a roughcast front and a plinth, designed in an L-shape, likely built on earlier foundations. Although it is now a single property, number 6 used to be a shop. The building features a slate roof with a steeply pitched cross gable on the left side, a large central roughcast chimney stack, and one brick stack.
On the first floor, there are two casement windows on the left and small-pane sash windows on the right, which have cambered heads. The ground floor includes a further casement window on the left, next to a recessed four-panel door with brass fittings. To the right, there is a 16-pane bow window with a six-panel door leading to a cross passage, also under a cambered head. There was formerly an additional entrance to the left of the bow window. The cross range has been modernly rebuilt, and the cross passage has been remodeled to extend the house. The roof construction is likely from the same period as the front of the building.
