Sydney House

Sydney House, formerly known as No. 1 Sydney Court, is a house dating from the early 18th century, now used as offices. It is constructed of brick and has a Welsh slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and features a five-window range. There is a six-panelled door set in an architrave with Ionic columns located to the right of the center, and inserted sash windows to the left. The original windows can be identified by their segmental heads. To the right of the doorway, there is an added canted bay window. The upper windows are four-pane sashes, with segmentally-arched heads on the first floor and flat heads on the second, indicating they are later insertions. Continuous sill bands run along the façade, and there are gable end stacks as well as an additional stack at the front.

The rear elevation has a central door that provides access to an external staircase added in the late 20th century, flanked by later canted bay windows. The upper windows on the rear are sashes with six and twelve panes and flat-arched heads, clearly inserted at a later date. The roof features three gabled dormers and a coped gable on the left side. This building incorporates the remains of an early 18th-century town gaol, along with Rodney House and the Old Police House.
