Description
Ridgnalls Lodge is a house dating from around 1700. It was likely converted from a farm building. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with blue-glazed headers. The roof is peg-tiled and fly-hipped. The windows are modern sash windows with two panes over two, and pivot action. It is a two-storey building. A blocked doorway is located centrally on the first storey, with a modern front door placed beneath. The building was likely originally a granary.
