Description

Ridge Farm House is a house dating from the 16th century, with a later 16th-century wing and eaves that were raised in the 17th century. It is timber framed with whitewashed brick infill and features tiled pentice hoods over the ground and first floors, along with a Horsham slab roof. The rear has a whitewashed brick wing with plain tiled hipped roofs. The house is two storeys tall, with the entrance located on the left-hand return front. The front has three framed bays with tension braces on the first floor and a raised roof. There is a corbelled end stack on the left and a front stack on the right. An attic window is centered above the entrance, which has three diamond-pane windows on the first floor, a four-light window on the ground floor to the left, and two smaller windows to the right. The door is centrally located under a pentice hood supported by 'rustic' brackets that extend over the left-hand window. On the right-hand return front, which faces the road, there is tension bracing on the first floor, an attic window above, and one window on the ground floor. An older range is set back between the projecting end gables, featuring a gabled stair vice in the center. The garden front is single storey with attics, showcasing two through-eaves oriel dormers supported by braces, and a large corbelled stack to the right of center.
