Description
Ridge Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is built of coursed rubble with a cob upper floor and is colourwashed. The building features a hipped thatched roof with a central brick chimney stack and has a lobby entrance plan with a rear wing. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range.
On the ground floor, the left side has a partially restored four-light ovolo moulded wooden mullioned window beneath a wooden lintel, while the right side has a four-light 20th-century casement window under a wooden lintel. The ground floor windows include horizontal glazing bars. The upper floor has a central three-fixed light wooden window with leaded lights, flanked by two three-light partially ovolo-moulded mullioned windows, some of which also have leaded lights. There are two eyebrow dormers in the roof, with the left one featuring some diamond-paned leaded lights. A central 19th-century tiled porch adds to the entrance.
Inside, the left ground floor room has deep chamfered beams with cyma stops, while the right room features ovolo-moulded beams. The rear wing contains an unglazed timber window with straight chamfers. The attic space retains original doors and partitions, along with some early graffiti.
