Bridge Cottage
Bridge Cottage is a 16th-century
timber framed, but this is not evident from the outside as it is rendered.[1] The II* grading, unusual for an architecturally unremarkable cottage, "reflects the importance of the cottage as part of the Flatford Mill group and its significance in the work of John Constable".[1]
The property is located in the heart of Dedham Vale, a typical Suffolk rural landscape. It is noted as the location for works by John Constable, and presents an exhibition of his paintings.[citation needed]
The cottage is located just upstream from Flatford Mill which, along with neighbouring Valley Farm and Willy Lott's Cottage, are leased to the Field Studies Council; a group uses them as locations for arts-based courses.[citation needed]
The property provides access to a number of walks along the River Stour.[citation needed]
