Description

The Riddings and adjoining barn wings are a farmhouse and barns dating from the mid to late 18th century, with some 19th-century alterations and elements from a 17th-century house. The building features painted incised stucco, V-jointed quoins, and an eaves cornice set on a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of graduated greenslate and has coped gables with kneelers, along with stone chimney stacks.

The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with lower flanking wings that connect to a gabled barn on the left and a gabled right-angled barn/stables on the right. The main entrance is a six-panel door located in a Tuscan gabled porch. The windows are sash style, set in painted architraves, with double windows on the ground floor and similar windows in the wings. At the rear of the house, there is a double-gabled extension. The barn on the left features a rear ramp leading to an upper cart entrance with iron-studded double doors, while the barn/stables on the right has a series of plank doors facing the farmyard.
