Description
Ringwell House is a country villa dating from the mid-19th century. It was originally built as a rectory. The house is constructed of cut and squared lias stone, with wide bracketed eaves, a slate roof, and later brick stacks, except for one original stack made of ashlar. It features freestone dressings in an Italianate style.
The main south-facing garden front has a 1:1 bay arrangement, with the left bay stepped forward slightly and topped with a front-facing gable and a first-floor band. The windows are sash windows; those on the first floor have nine panes and freestone surrounds, with the window to the left featuring a semi-circular head and radiating strapwork tracery. Ground-floor windows are larger sash windows with wider glazing bars, and a large, single-storey, stone bay is located on the left side, with a blocking course. The left return side is built in a similar style.
The entrance front is on the right return, featuring a large, emphasised ashlar porch with semi-circular headed openings, a central large opening and smaller openings to each side, paired single-panelled doors, and a clear-glazed fanlight.
A single-story coach house is attached to the rear, built in a simpler, conforming style.
The interior retains contemporary features, including ornamental plasterwork, fireplaces, window shutters, doors, and a staircase.
