Description
Syke House is a house built around 1840. It features ashlar stonework and a slate roof with two chimneys on each gable. The house has a double-depth, three-bay plan and stands two storeys high in a simple classical style. Key architectural details include a plinth, a first-floor band, a moulded cornice with a low parapet, and a central panelled door framed by an Ionic doorcase and cornice. There are two windows on the ground floor and three above, all of which are sashed without glazing bars and set in plain surrounds. Similar windows are found on other walls, including the attic level of the gables. Inside, the house has panelled doors and doorcases in the hall, as well as a staircase featuring decorative iron balusters and a handrail with a curtail. Historically, Syke House was the home of the Stott family, associated with Syke Side Mill, and in the 20th century, it was the residence of composer Alan Rawsthorne.
