River House

River House is a 15th, 16th, and later century timber-framed and plastered building that was formerly an important house. The roof is tiled. It is built on an L-shaped plan, with wings extending to the south and west, and there is an addition at the south end. Part of the front facade is faced with red brick. The house has two storeys.

A fine 16th-century red brick porch projects from the centre of the front, featuring panelled pilasters, a rounded gable, and small pinnacles. A modern panel in the gable displays the inscription "Ye olde River House 1490". The upper storey has an original three-light brick mullioned window surmounted by a moulded pediment. A moulded brick band separates the storeys. The ground floor arched entrance way is also surmounted by a moulded brick pediment. The porch is flanked by 18th-century double-hung sash windows with glazing bars.

The addition on the south end is likely of 16th or 17th-century origin, but was altered in the late 18th century. It contains a two-window range of double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. The roof is slate, with a 17th-century chimney stack featuring grouped diagonal shafts. The south end, originally an interior wall, contains wall paintings depicting full-size figures in 17th-century costumes and ornamentation, now encased in glass.
