Terrace of house and 3 cottages. Early-mid C19. Part of the estate village
of Sir William Amcotts Ingilby. Coursed squared gritstone, grey slate roof.
2 storeys, 5 bays, a double-fronted house to left and 3 single-bay cottages
to centre and right. In Tudor-Gothick style. 4 equally spaced 3-panel
doors in moulded surrounds with ogee heads under a hoodmould. Chamfered
windows of paired pointed-arched lights, with hoodmoulds and lead cames, to
both floors,those to ground floor alternating with the doors. 5 gables to
roofline with cruciform recesses, ashlar copings and 4 crenellated stacks to
the ridge, between each gable. Left return has door to right and gabled
facade as frontage. Sir William rebuilt Ripley village in the same style as
his father's work at the Castle. The cruciform recesses are also copied

and 2-light windows appear in the church - the south aisle screen and the
tower. Similar in style to South View (qv).
