Ranby Hall

Ranby Hall is a small country house dating from approximately 1868, with later 20th-century additions. It is constructed of stock brick with yellow limestone ashlar dressings, and has slate hipped roofs punctuated by six ridge stacks. The south front presents a two-storey, four-bay facade, incorporating a plinth and quoins. The two central bays project slightly, topped with a moulded pediment displaying a coat of arms. Four plain sash windows are located on this front, with matching windows above. A 20th-century conservatory has been added to the right. The west front features a large porte-cochere, supported by two freestanding rectangular rusticated columns on square plinths, an entablature, and a central canted bay window. This window comprises two central round-headed fixed lights flanked by single round-headed fixed lights. The doorway has flanking rusticated pilasters, an inner moulded ashlar surround featuring lower scrolls and upper narrow fixed lights, and is supported by four ornate brackets above an entablature. Two steps lead up to half-glazed doors. A 20th-century sash window is positioned to the right, alongside a 19th-century moulded architrave. Above this sits a single plain sash window, also with a moulded architrave. The interior features three ornately carved fireplaces, moulded cornices, dadoes, and a contemporary two-flight return staircase with simply carved tread ends, two moulded bannisters to each tread, and a moulded hand rail.
