Gates, Gate Piers and Boundary Walls to Road and Right of Way, Ridgeway House

These boundary walls and gateways date from approximately 1848. They are constructed of coursed squared gritstone, with ashlar walling around the main gateway, and incorporate wrought-iron and wooden gates. The structures enclose and divide the grounds of Ridgeway House, positioned alongside Cumberland Road, with a primary gateway facing Grosvenor Road and additional gateways providing access to a ginnel and the grounds on Cumberland Road. The total length of the walls is approximately 400 metres, divided into several sections.

On the west side of Grosvenor Road, between the gates and railings of Hilly Ridge House and the entrance to a right of way, stretches a 50-metre section of walling, standing 2.5 metres high. The main gateway to Ridgeway House features outer gritstone piers with moulded flat capstones, a dressed stone wall with shallow pointed coping, inner piers in vermiculated rustication, a moulded cornice, and ball finials. Spur stones are located at the bases of the piers. The gates are paired wrought-iron gates with dog bars, X-braces, and leaf finials at the top of the bars.

A 100-metre section of walls, standing 3 metres high, flanks a narrow pedestrian right of way through the grounds, with rounded coping stones. A single-slab footbridge crosses the path near the western end.

The 150-metre section of walling along the west side of the grounds, extending from the junction with the house, includes an angled wall with the remains of three blind or blocked arches, flat coping, and terminates at the entrance to Elmfield. This section includes a round-arched opening to a right of way and gate piers and gates providing access to the former gardens of Ridgeway House. The piers are monolithic with a modillion cornice and flat capstones, while the gates are wooden with the remnants of L-shaped hinges.

The route, used as a way from Leeds and Woodhouse to outlying hamlets and mills, was protected during the development of the Revd Richard Fawcett's estates following 1846. The north wall of the path forms a revetment to the house garden, originally planted with shrubs to conceal the wall top.
