(Redirected from Raised Ranch) American domestic architectural style

High Ranch is an American style of house, also known as Split entry , Hi-Ranch, Bi-Level Ranch and Raised Ranch.

Style

A High Ranch style house differs from Ranch-style house in that the accommodation is split across two floors. The entry is usually between the two floors with a half stair leading to the top floor and a half stair down to the lower floor. The lower floor can be ground level, half underground with windows, or a full basement, though it is not referred to as such.

The upper floor usually contains the main living areas: the kitchen and general dining area, as well as formal dining area, main reception and bedrooms as well as one or more bathrooms. The downstairs may contain a family room, laundry, storage, another bedroom and exits to the garage and rear garden, depending on grade. The lower floor may instead actually contain the garage or garages.

Build

High Ranch houses can be new build, or an existing ranch-style that has been raised on jacks and had a new floor inserted underneath.
