Description
Ripple Cottage is a house dating from the 17th to early 18th century, constructed of painted brick. It is a two-storey building with a plain tiled roof and coped gables. An external stack is located on the west wall. The east-facing wall originally featured a single window range, and the gable was a later addition. The original house had three casement windows above and three windows with a door below, all with cambered heads. Windows have been replaced with C19 and modern versions, including a modern glazing bar window that replaced the original door.
