Ropergate House

Ropergate House is a house that has been converted into offices, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with later additions from the late 19th century. It is constructed of good brown brick in English garden wall bond, featuring stone dressings and a slate roof. The building has three storeys and a basement, with a five-bay facade arranged in a 1:3:1 pattern, and a three-storey, three-bay addition to the right that matches the main style.

The main facade has a central section of three bays that is slightly advanced and topped with a pediment. It features an ashlar plinth and a central double-leaf door made up of six raised and fielded panels beneath a plain fanlight set in an archivolt on moulded imposts. This door is framed by an engaged Tuscan column doorcase with a plain frieze and a moulded pediment. On either side of the door are pairs of plate-glass windows. Above these, there are five sash windows with glazing bars, although the lower sashes have had their glazing bars removed. The upper sashes contain crown glass, and on the second floor, there are five unequally-hung nine-pane sashes. All windows are fitted with projecting stone sills and wedge lintels that feature incised voussoirs and dropped fluted keystones. The building is topped with a moulded and modillioned cornice and a pediment, which has different brickwork in the tympanum. The gables are stone-coped, and there are brick end stacks.

The addition to the right has a similar three-bay elevation to the main facade, though it features slightly different brickwork and a 20th-century doorway inserted into the central bay of the ground floor, along with a brick blocking course above the cornice. This addition also has stone coping and an external brick stack to the right. The main block includes late 19th-century canted bay windows on the rear elevation.

Inside, there is an inner door with six indented reeded panels beneath a fanlight. The rear features an octagonal stairs hall with doors of six raised fielded panels and a full-height open-well staircase that has slender turned balusters and a domed skylight.
