Description
Ridge End is a 16th-century bastle house that was extended by a wing to the left around 1800. It is constructed of large random rubble with a boulder plinth and has a Welsh slate roof. The building measures approximately 37 feet by 21 feet and consists of two storeys plus an attic, divided into two bays. The central doorway is set within a 20th-century porch, while the original ground-floor doorway features a roll-moulded surround. The ground-floor windows are sashes set in late 17th-century double-chamfered surrounds. On the first floor, there are late 18th-century or early 19th-century windows with renewed sashes, and one roll-moulded jamb of the original first-floor doorway remains above the door. The gabled roof has flat coping and banded end stacks.
To the left, there is a lower two-bay extension with sash windows, and further left is a three-bay stable with a granary above. The interior walls are approximately 50 inches thick.
