Place & story
A domestic frontage
The architectural inventory dates Ring House to about 1880 and identifies its Italianate design. Carved timber corbels support wide eaves beneath the hipped slate roof. Two canted bays project from the north front, with round-headed sash windows contrasting with the camber-headed openings above. Doric pilasters frame the central doorway, where a fanlight sits over the panelled door. A projecting stairwell and return extend the house behind the frontage. [2]
