Description
The octagonal building located to the east of Riddings Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farm building that has been converted into a house around 1980. It is constructed of red brick with blue brick dressings and features a hipped slate roof. The building is octagonal in shape, two storeys high, and consists of a single bay. Each alternate face on both floors has round arched openings with 20th-century glazed screens that include either doors or windows, all adorned with flush blue brick hoodmoulds. There are similar bands of blue brick at the first floor and eaves, consisting of two courses of blue brick with vertical blue bricks placed at regular intervals in between. The west face has 20th-century iron steps and a balcony leading to the first floor door, while the north face retains an original iron platform supported by decorative iron brackets at the first floor opening. This building is part of the home farm associated with Riddings House, which was owned by the local industrialist, Oakes.
