Little Ripley House, Ripley House And Former Service Buildings To Right

Little Ripley House is a house that has been extended and divided, dating from the early 18th century, with 19th-century additions to either end and 20th-century work to the left. The original red brick is now covered in colourwashed roughcast. The central part has a hipped roof largely concealed by a parapet, while the extensions have lower, hipped slate roofs. The house has two storeys, with a plinth and a decorative band over the ground floor and end piers. A string course runs to the base of the parapet on the central part, while the left-hand extensions have deeper eaves. A rendered stack is located to the left of the main block, with further stacks at the rear. The central section has seven bays, with windows on both floors blocked at the sides. The first floor has four, twelve-pane glazing bar sash windows and one smaller sash window, all with gauged brick aprons that have been painted over. The ground floor has three sash windows, and a half-glazed door is situated to the right. A central part-glazed door is set within a projecting rendered surround and a flat-roofed, dentilled porch supported by drum pillars. The former service buildings to the right are set back and date from the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring a parallel range with hipped, plain tiled roofs and a mixture of sash and casement windows.
