Bridge Cottage, situated in the woods at the top of the combe, was built around 1830 and is typical of the kind of vernacular building which must have always existed in Peppercombe. They were smallholders’ and labourers’ cottages built from rubble stone, cob (mud mixed with straw) and thatch. The central front door opens into the kitchen, beyond which is a smaller inner room which was heated, indicating this to have been a house of good quality. The large wash-house or laundry is further
evidence that this was more than the most basic labourer’s cottage.
The Landmark Trust started work in 1989 to make Bridge Cottage weather-tight after it had lain empty
since the 1970s. The roof frame was mostly rotten but as it also supported the bedroom’s ceilings, it was decided to construct a new frame over the existing and then suspend the old, weakened timbers from it to carry the ceiling.
