River House

River House is a mid-18th century L-plan house with a late 18th century facade featuring a parapet. The building is constructed of gault brick, with red brick on the rear wall of the main range. It has a mansard roof covered with a mix of old plain tiles and modern tiles. The house displays a dentilled eaves cornice on the wing and the rear of the main range, along with tumbled gable ends and end stacks. It is two storeys high with attics and includes a band between the floors.

The symmetrical front has a five-window range of hung sashes with glazing bars set in moulded architraves, with flat arches made of gauged brick above the windows. The ground floor windows feature later louvred shutters. The late 18th century doorcase is adorned with pilasters, an entablature with fluted capitals, boss enrichments on the frieze, a dentilled cornice, and a triangular pediment. The door itself has four raised and fielded panels. A semi-circular headed arch with glazing bars is present in the staircase window on the rear wall of the main range.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room includes a dado, later panelling, and a moulded cornice. There is a bolection moulded fireplace flanked by late 18th century niches with plain shell hoods, small fluted key blocks, pilasters with recessed panels, and an entablature featuring fluted capitals and floral enrichments in the spandrels. The cupboards below have shaped shelving doors. The staircase is a pulvinated closed string design with two flights and two landings, featuring turned balusters, a moulded rail, and square section newel posts topped with ball finials.

Additionally, there is a studio built around 1900 by the artist Dendy-Sadler located at the rear right. This structure is made of gault brick and has a tiled mansard roof, with an external stack on the northeast corner. The interior has a coved ceiling. A conservatory, also from around 1900, is situated to the right and features a lean-to roof, with a side elevation of three bays that includes wood pilasters, divisions, and segmental headed arches of trellis work. Dendy-Sadler lived in River House from 1900 to 1923.
