Why it mattered
house — Bridge Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This building adds interest to the streetscape, through its massing, form and siting on the banks of the River Maigue. Retaining much of its original form, its character is enhanced by the timber sash windows and simple shopfront, which makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Croom. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
