Description
Ramridge House is a country mansion dating from circa 1740, with significant alterations and the addition of wings in the late 19th century. The house is constructed of brick with a hipped slate roof. The north front, which is the main facade, is regular in design, three storeys high, and has four windows. The walls are red brick in Flemish bond, with a stone coping to a plain parapet, a stone cornice molding at the first-floor band, and rubbed round arches over the window openings, which have 19th-century Bath stone molded architraves and limestone molded sills. The sashes are set in reveals. The doorway has an Adam-style leaded fanlight and decorated architrave, and a six-panelled door now set within a 19th-century Bath stone Ionic porch of two columns and two pilasters, topped with an entablature featuring modillions and dentils, and accessed by three steps.
To the east side, a plain wing projects, featuring an attached stack. The south elevation is symmetrical, with the original three-storey block in the center and 19th-century two-storey wings flanking it, arranged with 3, 6, and 3 windows. The wings project slightly with half-octagonal ends. The east elevation of the 19th-century wing is regular, two storeys high, with one window on each side of a shallow Ionic stone doorway. At the west side, the wing does not extend to the north front but connects to a lower range of service buildings.
