The Riding

The Riding is a house built around 1800, with alterations and an extension made around 1905, as indicated by a dated rainwater head. The structure features squared tooled stone, some roughcast areas, and tooled dressings, with an ashlar porch and a Lakeland slate roof.

The south front is two storeys high and has three bays arranged symmetrically. It includes double glazed doors set within a Tuscan porch that has a modillion cornice, with a 12-pane sash window above. The flanking bays contain tripartite sash windows, and all openings are framed with raised stone surrounds. There is an eaves cornice supported by triple brackets, and the hipped roof is topped with two banded and corniced panelled stacks along the ridge.

On the left return, there are two bays featuring plate-glass sashes with 12-pane sashes above. The right return has an early 20th-century canted bay window. Set back to the left is a two-bay early 20th-century section: the gabled left bay has a tripartite plate-glass sash with a 4-pane sash above, both in raised stone surrounds. The right bay features a French window beneath a wooden canopy supported by brackets, with a 4-pane sash above, all within wooden architraves.
