The history of ramridge house
Ramridge House is a fine example of a Grade II* listed Georgian country mansion that was designed and built by Robert Adam in 1779 and extended in 1855. In the late 1800s it was owned by Colonel Charles d’Oyly Harmer, whose descendants lived there until it was requisitioned in 1939. During the Second World War Ramridge House became a Royal Air Force headquarters and Officers’ Mess until 1952. It then remained uninhabited until 1986 when it was extensively refurbished and converted into nine luxury apartments, carefully restored by craftsmen to retain much of the original charm and period features.
Description
5 Ramridge House is an impressive first floor apartment of approximately 851 sq ft offering spacious, light accommodation with high ceilings, classic features and stunning views over the beautifully landscaped communal gardens, grounds and adjoining countryside. The house is approached via a long sweeping private drive off the village lane, approached through the entrance with two attractive gatehouses.
The apartment is accessed through a large communal reception hall with wide staircase rising to the front door on the first floor. Inside the accommodation comprises a long spacious entrance hall with ample built-in book shelving and double doors leading into a stunning spacious split level drawing room with separate fully fitted kitchen area.
