Ryde House

Ryde House is a house, dating to approximately 1774, with additions made in the 19th century. It is constructed of dun-coloured brick with red brick dressings and angle quoins to the front, and red brick return walls. The roof is hipped and covered in plain tiles. The house has a stone-coped parapet, which partly hides the roofline, and two end stacks to the left and right. The symmetrical three-bay front facade features three twelve-pane sash windows on each floor, with gauged brick surrounds and wooden canopies over the first-floor windows. There are two ground-floor casement doors. A fine, central six-panelled door is set beneath an ogee tracery fanlight within a pedimented porch, supported by columns with an acanthus leaf capital, paterae and a fluted, dentilated entablature. A 19th-century extension, built in a similar style, is set back to the right, and includes a greenhouse on the ground floor. The right-hand return front has dentilated eaves and three dormers.
