Set within 1.5 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, this historic residence boasts a rich heritage, with its central core originating from a Norman fort dating back to the 12th century. The property has been enhanced over the years with Tudor and Victorian wings, preserving many original medieval features such as fireplaces, windows, and doors. The luxurious ambiance of Ridge Hall is reminiscent of a five-star country hotel, making it an ideal destination for those seeking both comfort and elegance in a tranquil setting.

The mansion also includes a games room with a slate bed snooker table, and a study for relaxation, movie-watching, or piano playing. With its two sets of stairs and secret passages, the mansion offers a playful environment for activities such as hide and seek or themed murder mysteries.
Ridge Hall's seven bedrooms, each with its own unique character, cater to various needs, including family accommodations and spaces for children. The master bedroom includes an adjoining room for kids, while a spacious beamed room serves as an ideal dormitory for teenagers. The grounds of the Hall are equally impressive, featuring stables, expansive lawns, and woodlands, with facilities to securely store bikes and equipment.
