10 12 14 AND 16, RIVERSIDE

A terrace of approximately 1800, with possible earlier fabric at the rear, is located on the north side of Felton Riverside. The buildings are constructed of squared stone, with a rear extension to No. 16 built of brick in English Garden Wall Bond. The roofs are covered with blue slate on Nos. 10 and 12, and purple slate on Nos. 14 and 16. Ridge stacks have been rebuilt in yellow Ashington brick, with one original brick stack remaining.

Each house is two storeys and three bays, arranged symmetrically. Originally, each house featured a central doorway beneath a gabled hood, with the hood at No. 16 supported by moulded brackets. No. 10 has a renewed six-panel door, No. 12 a fielded-panel door, No. 14 a vertical-panelled door, and No. 16 a part-glazed six-panel door. No. 10 has twelve-pane sash windows. Nos. 12 and 14 originally had twelve-pane sashes above, but these have been altered; No. 12 now has twentieth-century casements and No. 14 has paired plain sashes. No. 16 has late twentieth-century metal-framed casements, and similar fenestration is present on the left return.

A central arched passage entrance, located between Nos. 12 and 14, incorporates a round radial-glazed window above. The roof is hipped at the ends, with coped gables on moulded kneelers between Nos. 10 and 12, and Nos. 14 and 16. Four ridge stacks are visible.

The rear elevation of No. 16 displays a nineteenth-century Gothic-arched stair window with margined coloured glass. Furthermore, there are old brick and corniced stone stacks on the roof slope, and a single-storey extension, which is pent against the garden wall to the rear, with a twelve-pane sash window.

Historically, No. 16 was constructed as the presbytery for the Roman Catholic chapel at Felton Park.
