Description

Sydney House is a house that was originally built in the late 17th century, with 19th-century alterations and 20th-century renovations. It features coursed dressed limestone rubble and freestone, topped with Collyweston stone slated roofs that have chamfered copings on the parapet gables and rebuilt end stacks. The building is two storeys high with attics and has a one-storey and attic rear wing that forms an L-shape, along with a shop to the north.

The central doorway has an ashlar lintel and a flush keystone, leading to a six-raised and fielded panelled door. There are two ground floor bay windows with leaded casement lights, three first floor cross-framed casement windows, and two gabled casement dormer windows. Inside, the layout has been modified with a partition removed from the south side of the cross passage, and the rear kitchen wing was rebuilt in the 19th century. The main room features stop-chamfered cross beams and a cambered mantel beam over the open hearth.
