Ruloe House

Ruloe House is a former agent's house, now a residential property, built in 1873 by John Douglas for the Wilbraham Estate. It is constructed of Flemish bond orange brick with a red tile roof and brick chimneys featuring strip pilaster decoration. The house is two stories tall with a four-bay south front, displaying moulded brick bands at the first floor and sill level, and an irregular massing to the front. The right end of the building projects and includes a circular turret at its left corner topped with a tall conical roof. The windows are predominantly two-light with moulded brick mullions, while the central two-bay section features a four-light window of lancets with a stone mullion and a half-glazed door to the right. Above this door is a two-light window in a gabled dormer. The left end bay steps forward in three stages and has a four-light mullioned and transomed window below, with a similar mullioned window above. The right side of the house includes a gabled porch leading to the main door and some blind arcading. Inside, the rooms are arranged off a corridor that contains a well staircase with turned balusters. The interior features simple ceiling mouldings and wooden fire surrounds, one of which includes "Delft" tiles and a cast-iron grate.
