Ryehill Manor House

Ryehill Manor House is a farmhouse built around 1760 for Tatton Sykes, with possible earlier origins and 19th-century alterations and additions. The building is constructed of whitewashed brick and has a Welsh slate roof. It is T-shaped in plan, featuring a two-room central entrance hall on the south front and a two-room rear wing with an outshut and additional structures at the angle.

The house has a plinth and a projecting 19th-century porch supported by slender columns, which carries a moulded cornice and flat hood over a half-glazed panelled door with a plain overlight in an architrave and reveal. The windows include 16-pane sashes and a 12-pane sash above the entrance, all set in flush wooden architraves with sills and stucco flat arches. The eaves board is wooden, and there is a modillioned gutter. The roof is hipped with end stacks.

On the left return, the gable end of the front range features a pair of 12-pane sashes on the ground floor and a single similar sash on the first floor. The three-bay rear wing has an entrance to the right with a doorcase and shallow hood, a half-glazed panelled door with an overlight in the reveal, a small 4-pane sash, a 19th- to 20th-century ground-floor bay window, and a 16-pane sash to the left, along with similar first-floor sashes. All sashes are in surrounds similar to those on the south front. The rear gable end has a 20-pane first-floor sash set in a reset early 18th-century moulded ashlar architrave.

Inside, the south front features a mid-18th-century open well staircase with a wreathed corniced handrail, column-on-vase balusters, and newel, along with square cheek-pieces. The interior also includes a beamed ceiling, marble pilastered chimney-pieces, panelled window shutters, and fielded-panel doors in architraves. The rear wing has moulded cornices, though the interior has not been fully investigated.
