Description
Nos. 47 and 49 Bridge Street is a fine former townhouse that has been converted into offices. The building is rendered and painted, topped with a slate roof featuring broad overhanging eaves that are bracketed and boarded, along with very long and narrow brick end stacks. It has a double-pile plan and stands three storeys tall. The façade consists of a five-window range with 12-pane sash windows set in reveals, featuring narrow glazing bars and shallow sills.
The central doorway is adorned with a bracketed entablature hood and reeded pilasters, leading to panelled reveals and a recessed six-panelled door with polygonal glazing in the overlight. To the right of the doorway are two similar sash windows, while to the left is a tripartite sash window and a four-panelled door at the left end, which has a plain overlight. The building has a deep painted plinth and is complemented by sturdy iron railings with arrow-head finials and swept double gates that extend from the right end to the left side of the central doorway, all set on a stone kerb.
An attached rough-cast wall on the right side features an arched carriage entrance that leads to a former yard at the rear. The side elevation, now facing the path, has similar tripartite sash windows, with additional sash windows located at the rear.
