Riversdown

SU 62 SW WARNFORD 4/1 Riversdown II* House, used as a school. C14 timber framed hall with C17 timber framed internal additions and fireplaces, early C19 cladding, and restoration with many features of c.1900. Brick walls of Flemish Garden Wall bond, some cambered openings, one large stepped buttress on the east elevation. Tile roof, hipped at the north end, extending to a low eaves on the west side, with narrow hipped dormers at two levels, hipped and half-hipped minor extensions. The general form of the large medieval hall is seen externally, above walls of one, two and three storeys, forming irregular facades as minor projections to the main block, irregular fenestration. Casements, mostly small: the south side has a narrow two-storeyed splayed bay, tile-hung between the windows, with a steep hipped slate roof. Gabled porch. The low wings and projecting features represent an interesting Art Nouveau exterior.
