Description
Riding Cottages are a pair of houses built in the mid-19th century, with No. 4 having formerly served as a post office. They are constructed from squared stone with tooled ashlar dressings and feature a slate roof. The main section is two storeys high and has four bays. The end bays contain 6-panel doors with plain overlights, and to the right of the left bay is an 8-pane sash window. The intermediate bays have paired 8-pane sashes. The first floor includes 16-pane sashes in gabled half dormers, which have trefoil-pierced bargeboards. The roof verges overhang the eaves, and there is a central ridge stack. To the left, there is a one-storey bay (the former post office) with a 6-panel door on the far left and a renewed 20-pane sash window, along with a stepped and corniced end stack. All openings are framed in chamfered surrounds.
