Description
Riverside is a cottage and workshop range dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with freestone quoins and has roofs made of Collyweston stone slates. The building is one storey high with an attic, forming a long L-plan, and includes a back range that extends to the south, which contains a workshop.
On the north elevation, there is a gabled canopy over a 20th-century door on the right side, and a part roof with a gabled canopy over a window on the left. The elevation features two gabled dormer windows with casements and patterned barge boards, along with brick stacks on the left side. The south and east elevations have three stacks, a glazed door, and a sixteen-paned hung sash window to the left, along with additional windows and boarded doors. There is one first-floor loft door that is accessed by wooden steps, and five small hipped casement dormer windows, two of which have metal frames and leaded lights.
Historically, Riverside was associated with riverside wharves and was used as granaries in 1759. It was converted into a house around 1850 by builder L.C. Gilbert.
