River Hill Cottage

River Hill Cottage is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building features three bays facing southwest and is positioned at right angles to No. 3 River Hill Cottages, connecting with it at the left end. There are internal stacks located at the rear of the left bay and at the right end of the middle bay against the rear wall. The cottage is one storey high with attics, and it has three 20th-century casements and three additional casements in gabled dormers. A 20th-century door is located at the front of a small lean-to porch, and there is a full-length jetty that is underbuilt but visible externally.

On the northeast elevation, which faces Owl's Hill, there are two 20th-century casements and a 20th-century door at the side of the lean-to porch. The left bay features an exceptionally wide wood-burning hearth with a cambered mantel beam, nearly the same length as the bay, likely part of a timber-framed chimney of which no other elements are visible, as it has been reduced for a modern stove. The other stack has a chamfered straight mantel beam with plain stops, designed for a wood-burning hearth that has been reduced for a 20th-century grate. Inside, there is a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, raised at the hearth end on a short post with similar detail, and 19th/20th-century joists. The structure has jowled posts, close studding, and a shutter groove for an unglazed window located below the jetty. The southwest wall has subsided unevenly and has been raised approximately 0.50 metre with an additional wallplate, and the roof has been rebuilt. This subsidence likely explains the raising of the first floor as well.
