Description
Riverside Cottage is a house, originally divided into two cottages, dating to 1745. It is timber-framed and rendered, with unusual raised fielded roughcast panels and a thatched roof. The house is of one-and-a-half storeys and features an internal chimney stack with a plain rectangular shaft of red brick. There are two gabled dormers with plain bargeboards and small, old two-light casement windows. Below the eaves, in front of the chimney stack, is a fixed two-light window. The ground floor has four windows: a five-light former shop window on the left, two similar two-light casements in the centre, and a three-light window on the right, all with a single horizontal bar to each light. There are two similar recessed doors with four flush panels, the one on the right having an open gabled timber rustic porch and both accessed by steps. The building has group value.
