Description
Oakridge Saddlery is a house and shop, now functioning solely as a shop, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It features a colourwashed brick front and a rendered left side wall, topped with an old tile roof and a brick stack. The building is designed in an L-shape and has two storeys with a three-window range.
The entrance includes a flat hood and reeded architrave surrounding a 20th-century door. To the left, there is a mid-19th century eight-pane shop window with a dentilled cornice, while to the right of the door, there is a flat rendered arch over a four-light casement. The first-floor sashes are topped with flat arches, and the building has dentilled eaves. The roof is gabled and hipped, with a left lateral stack. At the rear, there is a two-storey, one-bay range made of similar materials, also featuring dentilled eaves and an eight-pane sash window. The interior has not been inspected.
