8/90 Castle Close and wall to left (formerly listed as House 15.3.66 to east of Castle occupied by Major Ives)

GV II

House and wall. Early-mid C19. Part of the estate village of Sir William Amcotts Ingilby. Coursed squared gritstone, Westmorland slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 x 2 bays with lower bay to left and wall approximately 2.5 metres high and 10 metres long to left again. House: in Gothick style. Plinth. 3 steps up to central 4-panel door, the upper 2 panels with trefoil heads; interlaced glazing bars to pointed overlight; pointed-arched door- head with a double chamfer decorated with flower heads in relief; the chamfers terminating in shields with the Ingilby star in relief at impost level. All windows have pointed sashes with interlaced glazing bars; the 2- piece arched lintels with a star motif at impost level as doorway. Square hoodmoulds to all openings. Moulded eaves cornice and shallow blocking course; hipped roof with 4-octagonal-flue corniced end stacks. Wall: crenellated, with flat coping stones. Sir William's father, Sir John (d 1815), was responsible for the rebuilding of Ripley Castle. Sir William used the flower motifs, Ingilby star, 2-piece lintels and window form from the pedestrian entrance to the gatehouse and the windows of the north (coach-house) range of the castle for several houses in the village: Vale Lodge is identical, Birchwood Farmhouse and Horngarth differ only in the chimney positions and Star House and Cottage is built to the same design.
