This verandah is C20 but replacing an earlier one. Two original fixed light butcher's windows, the left window altered from a door.
INTERIOR: Hall has rough hewn chestnut beams. One four-panelled and one six-panelled door. Lounge has ceiling beams covered over but open fireplace (opened out in 1995) with large wooden bressumer with salt hole and brick fireback, the lower courses of C16 brickwork.

First floor retains original beam above window with sockets for diamond mullions and shutter groove. Three plank doors. Roof has purlins and rafters.
HISTORY: Bridge House is believed to have once formed part of the Stonewall Farm estate. In the 1841 Census Thomas Duddy was listed as butcher. By the 1851 Census his wife Elizabeth had succeeded him. Thomas's father, also Thomas, was a butcher and buried in St Mary's churchyard Hunton in 1830.
