Description

The Airedale Heifer Public House and attached barn is a building dating from the mid-18th century, located on Bradford Road in Riddlesden. Constructed from stone with a stone slate roof, the public house features two storeys and five first-floor windows. It has rusticated quoins and is arranged in five bays. The central entrance is a round-arched doorway with a keystone and cornice. The windows are sash style, set in plain stone surrounds, with a continuous drip mould over the ground-floor windows that returns at the sides. The building has moulded kneelers and ashlar coping, with gable stacks. The left gable includes two cross-windows and an oculus in the gable.

The barn, which is positioned at right angles to the main building, has three wide doorways; the left one is blocked and features a window, the central doorway is covered by a lean-to added in 1986, and the right doorway displays a pub sign. There are also two rows of blocked round-headed slit-vents. The roof of the barn is hipped on the right side. At the rear, there is a blocked, quoined, segmental-arched cart-entry on the right and two inserted wide doorways to the left, with the central doorway being blocked.
