Description
Ruffles is a house dating from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It has a timber frame and is rough rendered, topped with a red plain tiled roof and a rear red brick chimney stack. The house is two storeys high and features a two-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes. There is a central 20th-century door with a moulded surround. To the left, there is a 20th-century extension with a hipped roof and 20th-century three-light casements. The tall rear range was added around 1921, along with a single-storey range.
Inside, the house includes jowled storey posts, 17th-century stairs and fireplaces, an 18th-century archway to the stairs with fluted pilasters, and an 18th-century cupboard with a semi-circular head. One room on the first floor has a shallow vaulted ceiling and a Greek key frieze. The roof features side purlins and collars. In the garden, there is the site of a windmill that is shown on the Chapman and Andre map of 1777.
