Description
Riverside Cottage is a house dating from the mid or late 17th century. It features painted rendered walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof, which has rendered chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays. There is a 20th-century plank door set within painted stone surrounds, located in a 20th-century porch. The cottage has 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars, which were originally part of 3-light windows, but one stone mullion has been removed from each window, and all have been removed from the window to the right of the entrance.
