Rydinghurst

Rydinghurst is a house built in the early 17th century, showcasing the Artisan Mannerist style, with a 19th-century south front that complements the original design. The structure is made of red brick, which was once finely jointed but has since been repointed on the gables. It features plain tiled roofs and stands two storeys high with attics. Decorative elements include brick cornices over the ground and first floors, as well as a string course around the edges of the gables.

The house has parallel ranges with stacks at each end. The front displays a Dutch style with outer gables and a shaped gable at the centre, which contains a stone armorial plaque. Each gable has a 4-light casement window, while the first floor has five windows under gauged brick heads—two in each outer gable and one in the centre. The ground floor features four "cross" windows, also under gauged brick heads.

A central brick porch with a steep, brick-dentilled gable and a stilted arched top leads to a square panelled door, which has cement imposts beneath a gauged brick arch over a fanlight. To the left, a 19th-century range is set back, with one gable projecting. This section includes a projecting square bay with a brick parapet and string course, an arched panelled door on the ground floor, and casement windows. There are two diagonal stacks to the left and a multiple stack at the rear. Additional single-storey extensions are set back further to the left end and feature a hip roof.

On the right-hand return front, there is a shaped gable with a stack at the apex, two windows on the first floor, and a triple arcade on the ground floor supported by round brick piers. The rear, or garden front, is a 19th-century copy of the entrance front, featuring a double range to the left and a double arched entrance porch on round brick piers across the centre of the ground floor.
