Ryes Farmhouse

Ryes Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a core that likely originates from the late 16th century. It has a three-cell plan, featuring an early 17th century parlour cell that is designed as a cross-wing, while a late 16th century rear wing is positioned behind the service cell. The building stands two storeys high, with some areas having attics. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, topped with a pantiled roof that was once thatched. An axial chimney from the early 17th century is made of red brick and has a sawtooth shaft.

The farmhouse has mid-20th century casement windows and a gabled pantiled entrance porch, which is now located on the garden side. Some unmoulded timber framing is visible, and there is a diamond-mullioned window in the rear wing. The roof features butt-purlins typical of early 17th century construction. Inside, there is a lintelled open fireplace from the 17th century in the hall, along with fragments of moulded plasterwork from the early 17th century. One of the chambers retains a frieze decorated with lozenges and other motifs from the 17th century.
