Rivermead

Rivermead is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of rubble and has a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features a rear outshut of various builds, consisting of two bays.

On the south side, to the right, there is a part-glazed door set in a chamfered quoined surround. The facade includes three-light double-chamfered mullion windows, with two on each floor, and ashlar coping. There are stacks at both ends and in the centre of the building. The rear outshut, which is the oldest section located to the right, was originally a porch and features quoins.

The door here has six carved panels and is framed by a quoined ashlar Tudor-arched surround with a moulded arris. The left spandrel bears the letter 'W', while the inscription on the lintel is no longer legible. To the left of this door, there is a ground-floor side-sliding sash window with a deep lintel, and a first-floor 9-pane unequally-hung sash window. Further left, there is an early 18th-century stair turret with a flat-faced two-light landing window in an ashlar architrave, along with a blocked two-light window below. To the left again, there is a two-light flat-faced mullion window and a 20th-century casement window with a deep lintel.

Inside, the rear porch features a chamfered single-light window with a stanchion on the left and a bench table on the right. There is a stop-chamfered Tudor-arched ashlar inner doorway, a chamfered beam, and moulded joists. In the main room on the front right, there is a chamfered ashlar fireplace with a segmental arch that has a joggled keystone and cantilevered side beams designed to resemble joggled voussoirs, with a brick bread oven to the left. The front left room contains a cupboard with a bow-shaped door made of fielded panels, and there are internal board doors throughout. A stone dogleg staircase features column-on-vase balusters.

To the rear of the house, on the right, is the wall of a ruined outbuilding that has two blocked three-light double-chamfered mullion windows. This suggests that the early 17th-century house originally extended further west, with that section likely becoming a barn when the house was altered into a farmhouse in the early 18th century.
