Description
Riverside House is a house from the earlier to mid 19th century, built on an older core. It is constructed of rubble stone with stone tiled roofs, featuring coped gables with saddlestones and finials, as well as an ashlar ridge stack. The house is two stories tall and designed in an Elizabethan/Jacobean style.
The south front has a main gable on the right, which includes a three-light window on the first floor with a hoodmould, above a three-light ground floor window that has a mullion and transom, both of which are ovolo-moulded. To the left, there is a dormer gable with a two-light mullion window and a hoodmould over a two-light mullion and transom window, which has been altered to form a door, both of which are cyma-moulded.
The west end wall features a lean-to with a two-light ovolo-moulded window above it. The east side facing the road has an early 19th-century ashlar lean-to porch, with the corners rising to form a finial and a Tudor arched doorway. Inside, there is a plastered fleur-de-lys and a datestone from 1617 above the door.
