Description
Ridgeway House is a house built in 1720, which was refronted in the early 19th century and has 20th-century additions. The building is constructed from coursed squared stone and ashlar, featuring ashlar dressings. It has a plain tile roof with stone coped gables on plain kneelers, stone gable end stacks with blue brick tops, and a coved eaves cornice. The house is two storeys tall and has three bays, plus a two-bay 20th-century addition to the east.
The early 19th-century south front includes a plinth, raised quoins, and tooled dressings. The central entrance features a semi-circular headed doorcase with raised impost blocks and a keystone, a moulded arch, a six-panel raised and fielded door, and a fanlight above. On either side of the door are plain sash windows in raised plain surrounds, which also have projecting impost blocks and sills. Above, there are three smaller windows that match the style of the lower ones, with a raised band at lintel level.
The rear elevation has flush quoins and an off-centre stone porch with diamond leaded windows on either side, covering a plain doorcase with a lintel inscribed '1720 TSR'. On either side of the porch are two-light flush mullion windows with glazing bar casements, and above them are two similar windows with single pane casements. Slightly off-centre to the west is a full-height transomed staircase window. The 20th-century addition is in a similar style but of no special interest.
