Description
Ryes Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century and late 18th century. It features a combination of timber framing and plaster, as well as red Flemish bond brickwork. The building is mainly two storeys high, with a single-storey extension at the north end of the front. It consists of two major sections: a gabled block at the north end with a peg tile roof and a later brick unit at the south, which also has a gabled peg tile roof.
The 17th-century part has three 19th-century casement windows, each with three square panes per sash, and a large chimney stack that rises through the ridgeline against the north gable of the later block. This later block features two gabled dormers with 20th-century casements and a rebuilt chimney stack along the ridgeline. On the first floor, there are three double-hung sash windows above a string course, two similar windows with segmental arched heads, and a 20th-century door that has been created from a reduced opening that was originally for a window.
To the south, there is a large 20th-century crosswing extension with a peg tile roof and a jetty. The 19th-century front extension is made of brick and flint, featuring a tall gable end chimney stack and black boarding in the apex of the gable.
