Ropley House

Ropley House is a large Georgian house dating to the mid-18th century, with alterations made in the early 20th century. The house is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring a tall parapet with stone coping and a modillion cornice, set forward at each corner as a raised pier with an additional coping supporting a pineapple. The window arches are rubbed flat, and a first-floor band of blue headers runs across the facade, with stone cills to the windows. The double-pile tile roof has hips to three dormers, each with moulded eaves, casements, and curved gable tops.

The west front is symmetrical, arranged over two storeys and an attic, with five windows. The windows are sash windows set in reveals. A Doric doorcase, featuring ¾ plain columns on two stone steps, provides access to a doorway with an arched head, a radiating fanlight, and a six-panelled door. The east elevation is almost identical, featuring a French door beneath a fanlight. The south elevation has a central sash window above a French door. It also includes mathematical brick tiling and a small, early 20th-century courtyard flanked by shallow open shelters supported on simple Ionic columns, with the outer brick walls terminating in piers with ball caps.

To the north is a lower, two-storey service wing of vernacular style, again from the early 20th century. This wing has a gabled projecting centre to the front (facing west), containing a Venetian window, and is set back behind a wall with a central gateway flanked by piers.
