Description
Ramshaw Hall is a house dating from around 1700, possibly incorporating an earlier structure. It features thinly rendered sandstone with ashlar dressings and projecting quoins, while the rear wing is made of sandstone rubble with quoins. The front range has a roof covered with concrete tiles, with stone slates at the front eaves, and the rear wing and left extension have pantiled roofs. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and six bays, plus a small one-storey, one-bay privy on the left.
The third bay is wider and includes a narrow window to the left of an eight-panel door set in an architrave, which is topped by a scroll-bracketed stone hood. Above this door are paired narrow windows, with a trompe l'oeil effect over the door. The windows have plain stone surrounds and are mostly sashes, with many having been renewed to feature 12 or 4 panes. The early 19th-century 12-pane sashes are located on the first floor in the two right bays. The steeply-pitched roof has three ashlar ridge chimneys with plinths and cyma recta cornices.
On the right return, there is a two-light chamfered stone-mullioned attic window with leaded glazing. The long two-storey rear wing has irregular fenestration, all of which has been renewed. The rear features a two-storey, two-bay outshut with a two-light stone-mullioned window beneath a catslide roof, while the inner return of the rear wing is blank on the ground floor.
Inside, there is a dogleg close-string stair with a high grip handrail on diabolo balusters. The entrance hall and the room to the left have panelling that reflects 17th-century proportions, with the latter room featuring segmental-headed cupboards with shaped shelves and shell tops flanking a plain stone fireplace. The two main rooms have large stop-chamfered beams, and there are many panelled doors dating from around 1700. The building was empty at the time of the survey.
