Description
Ridgewell Hall is a manor house built in the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of five bays arranged approximately east-west, with a north-facing aspect and one axial chimney stack located one bay from the eastern end. There is a 19th-century extension to the south of the western end, creating an L-plan, which includes one chimney stack at the junction and another axial stack. A single-storey lean-to extension is present at the southern end. The house is two storeys tall.
The 18th-century entrance elevation is on the north side, while the 19th-century entrance is on the west side. The north elevation features a nearly central eight-panel door with a fluted doorcase and a bracketed hood from the 18th century. There are four early 18th-century double-hung sash windows with 16 lights, along with one early 19th-century sash window. On the first floor, there are five similar early 18th-century sash windows and one similar 19th-century sash window. The roof is hipped. The south elevation includes one early 18th-century sash window, and both periods of windows contain much crown glass. The west elevation has a 19th-century gabled porch with fretted bargeboards.
Inside, the east ground floor room features 18th-century pine panelling and a recessed half-cylindrical cupboard located south of the adjacent stack. On the first floor, to the west of the same stack, there is a late 19th-century cast iron grate with a contemporary surround made of glazed ornamental tiles, which is a notable relic from its period. The roof structure includes clasped purlins.
