Blue Ride Cottage

Blue Ride Cottage is a house dating from 1846, built in the Lovelace style. It is constructed from flint rubble with brick dressings and has slate roofs. The building has a “T” shaped layout. It is two storeys high and features an end stack to the gable, round in shape and decorated with cut brick in a diamond pattern. The cottage includes a guilloche-style terracotta band to the plinth, a decorative lozenge band to the first floor, and a brick billet band to the eaves. The gable end facing the street has an oval crest in the apex. There are two cambered head casement windows on the first floor and one first floor casement window to the right, positioned within a whitewashed brick extension. A cambered head, glazed door is located on the ground floor to the right. The return front on the left side of the building has one first floor window on each floor, alongside a cambered head casement window on the ground floor to the right. This ground floor window retains original glazing bars and is set within a chamfered brick surround.
