Description
Riverside Cottage is a cottage that dates back to the early 14th century, with additions and alterations from the 16th century, 18th century, and around 1920. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, with painted brick elements. The roofs are covered with long straw thatch and plain tiles, and there is a local brick ridge stack. The cottage has one storey and an attic.
The building features an aisled hall with two bays, and there are two additional bays to the east, along with a demolished bay or cross-wing to the south. The arcade plates and unjowled posts are still visible, showing evidence of passing braces and one truncated brace in the north-west post. There are late 16th-century inserted floors and a stack. A single-storey extension to the west, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, replaces one bay or cross-wing of the aisled hall. The brace in the north-west post indicates that the arcade may have continued as an internal wall to an enclosed part of the aisle or cross-wing.
On the north elevation, there is a tall gabled facade with a dormer window featuring horizontal sliding sashes, two ground floor casement windows, and a boarded door. Inside, there are two inglenook hearths with chamfered mantel beams, as well as cased and exposed main timbers of the aisled hall. The hall also has chamfered floor joists.
