Description
Ragleth House is a late 18th-century house, later altered in the late 19th century and subsequently used as a boarding school for girls. It is constructed of red brick on a stone plinth, with the upper level finished in painted roughcast. The roof is tiled, hidden behind a facade parapet, and it features brick gable-end stacks. The building has a rectangular plan consisting of two parallel ranges with ridges aligned along the street.
The front elevation presents a three-storey, three-window facade with 6/6 sash windows; two 6/6 sashes are located within the raised eaves of the attic floor, and two flat-roofed bay windows flank a wooden doorcase with an open pediment, radial fanlight, panelled reveals, and a 6-panelled door. Scattered wood casements are visible on the left return side. The rear of the house is a three-storey, three-window range. It has Gothick-style pointed wooden two-light casements on the upper floors and a ground-storey partly obscured by a single-storey extension wing built of stone rubble. The interior has not been inspected.
