Ryes

Ryes is a small house, probably built in the mid-18th century. It is constructed from rendered stone rubble and features a thatched roof with gabled ends. The right gable end is attached to an adjoining cottage, which is not included in this listing. The house has gable end stacks; the right stack has a squat rendered shaft with slate weathering, while the left stack has a thinner shaft topped with a chimney pot made from four slates arranged on edge and joined by mortice and tenon joints.

The building is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window arrangement. The first-floor windows are late 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there are two large 20th-century casements to the left and a 20th-century plank door to the right of centre.

Inside, the right room features thin, slightly chamfered wavy ceiling joists without a main beam, while the ceiling in the left room has a replaced cross-beam. Both rooms have altered fireplaces. The roof, dating from the 18th century, has collars that are lapped and pegged to the face of the straight principal rafters, which have halved and pegged apexes.
