Description
Ridge Farmhouse is a house that features a timber-framed lobby entrance design, with significant alterations from the early 19th century and some minor extensions. The walls are rendered, and there are hoodmoulds above the openings. The roof is tiled and has decorative bargeboards. The south front has two storeys and includes a projecting two-storey porch, with a total of five windows. The windows are casements, and there is a splayed bay on the west side. A boarded door is set within a pointed arch. At the rear, there is a wing of the same design, along with a late 19th-century single-storey extension on the east side. Inside, there is a 17th-century beam and a massive chimney bressumer, along with some framing in the cross wall, indicating that the building has earlier origins despite its appearance as an example of early Victorian Tudor style.
