Description
Bridge House is a terrace of early to mid 19th century cottages constructed from rubble stone and topped with slate roofs. The building consists of a pair of three-storey structures, with access to the first floor from Swan Path on the west side and to the ground floor from the river path on the east side. The entrance features a boarded door with a heavy frame, and the windows are irregularly placed, consisting of 9-pane designs with Brecon hoppers. There are brick gable stacks.
At the northwest end, there is an addition called Glanant, which is set back from the river frontage by approximately 1.2 meters. This section has a wide opening at river level that provides access to two parallel stone storage vaults. It includes a boarded door and a side window. The first floor features 6-pane sash windows, while the second floor has 4-pane windows. There is also a lean-to at the northwest end, which has a central door.
