Description
Nos 5 and 6 Riding Hill are a pair of cottages built around 1800. They are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and feature a stone slate roof. The cottages are two storeys high and have sill bands. Each cottage has two bays, with a doorway that includes tie stones formed by the sill band, and a single square sash window with plain stone surrounds and overlapping heads above. There are slightly narrower windows above the doorways. The right-hand end has a coped gable, and there is a central stack. At the rear, the cottages have similar but narrower windows, with a central mullion for two-light windows on both floors.
