Abstract:		 No. 84 Ravensdowne was built between 1860 and 1865 by local millwright Samuel Riddle on land once known as Old Windmill Hill. It is likely that Riddle purchased the land to construct a house for his growing family, attracted by the street's once fashionable character, but restricted to this one available piece of land in upper Ravensdowne on which a coach house stood. The gardens were once larger, and included a bowling green to the east. Constructed from local stone, the symmetrical two storied villa with slate roof is of a modest size. The lack of architectural detailing suggests a house built out of economy, suitable for a man of modest means. Originally it would have been simply laid out with a central hall and stair, heated parlour and living kitchen, behind which, in the rear wing, was a scullery and larder. Upstairs were three bedrooms, two of which were heated. Much of the interior has undergone significant modernisation in the 20th century including the removal of fireplaces, the replacement of windows and removal of shutters. The layout has also changed upstairs to incorporate a bathroom, corridor and a fourth bedroom, whilst downstairs the scullery was converted to serve as a kitchen and enlarged by the removal of the larder wall. An outside store has also been lost. However, the house retains some original features, including doors, architraves and stairs. Despite internal alterations, externally No. 84 makes a positive contribution to the Berwick-upon-Tweed Conservation Area. Whilst it is not on its own of particular architectural significance, it is its contribution to the local street scene which is 84 Ravensdowne's most important asset.
