Description

Ripton House is a large house dating to the early 17th century, with significant alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed of local stone, some cut and squared, some as random rubble, with Ham stone dressings and partial refacing on the north and east sides. The roof is covered in Welsh slate, featuring coped gables and finials. The building has brick chimney stacks and an "L" shape with additions. It is two storeys high with an attic.

The South elevation has a gabled end with a 19th-century door and sidelights, but no porch. The window arrangement on this side is irregular, featuring a chamfered mullioned window with a label mould, and a timber casement window with ovolo mouldings. The East elevation is more formal, with three bays, featuring French doors on the ground floor with a label mould above, and mullioned windows above without labels. The North, roadside, elevation has four irregular bays with mostly chamfered mullioned windows. An attic window has a hood and leaded panes, along with an early wrought iron casement stay. One 19th-century sash window with 16 panes is located on the ground floor.

The interior incorporates several 18th-century features, including doors, doorcases, corbel brackets to beads, cupboards, and some shallow ceiling cornices and friezes.
