FELTON RIVERSIDE NU 1800 (North side) 12/115 No. 6 (formerly listed 31/12/69 as Nos. 6 and 8) II
House. Early C17; 1960's period restoration by Barry Bucknell. Roughly- coursed heavy rubble, rendered and colourwashed at front; C20 concrete tile roof. Long-house plan. 2 storeys, 3 irregular bays. Renewed half-glazed door between left bays with C20 plate glass window (former shop front) to left and 16-pane sash to right; 24-pane and 12-pane Yorkshire sashes above. Renewed cross-passage door in right bay (render conceals flat-pointed head and chamfered surround), with 16-pane sash to right and 24-pane Yorkshire sash above. Upper windows in rendered-over chamfered surrounds. Raised reverse- stepped coping to left end gable; C20 left end stack. Left return shows 2 small chamfered attic windows, that to right blocked. Rear elevation shows renewed cross-passage door in chamfered surround, under flat-pointed arch; small chamfered stair window to right, shorter 9-pane sash above and upper doorway holding C20 glazed door to left.
Interior: stone-walled cross passage has doorway with timber lintel to unheated east end room and chamfered doorway with flattened 4-centred arch to main ground floor room; this has east end fireplace with chamfered bressumer on chamfered stone heck-post, and later C17 west end fireplace with moulded surround within a chamfer which steps out to enclose rectangular panels at the head of each jamb and at lintel centre. Position of original newel stair is shown by curved recess in north wall adjacent to entry, and the small stair window with sockets for original iron bars. Original ceiling beams, transverse over main part and axial above passage and east end, throughout; evidence of later studded partitions for centre passage in main part. East end bedroom has late C17 fireplace with flat-pointed head within chamfered surround.
Historical Notes: The long-house plan is rare in this area. In the C18 or C19 the unheated east end room served as a distillery for the adjacent public house. In the 1960's after being the prize in a raffle, the house underwent a do-it-yourself 'restoration' featured in a BBC television series.
1960's flat-roofed brick rear wing is not of interest.
