333 Ryton

This is a house located at 333 Ryton, likely built in the late 16th century, with later enlargements in the 17th or early 18th century, and an extension added in the mid-20th century. The structure features a brick-nogged timber frame with a stone plinth, rendered side and rear walls, and a tiled roof.

The front of the house has three bays and is one room deep, standing two storeys tall with a lean-to at the back. The left side displays two-panel high framing on each floor, and there is a blocked door at the left end accessed by brick steps. To the right, there is a two-light metal casement window. A mid-20th century two-light casement window is positioned next to a half-glazed front door, which is raised by two steps and features a covered open timber porch with a weatherboarded gable.

On the right side, there is a jowled post supporting the roof at a right angle to the front, with matching support at the corner. Mortices indicate where a projecting bay has been removed. The left side has timber framing infilled, while the right side is brickwork with a three-light wooden casement window. On the first floor, there is a three-light wooden casement window on the left with an iron opening light, similar to the left door. The framing extends over the tie beam up to a queen strut, with a two-light casement window featuring an iron opening light. The bottom half of the principal rafter supports the verge, and the eaves on the right return are at a lower level than the front. A brick chimney is located on the ridge to the left of the door, with another chimney on the right return.

Internally, the left part consists of two equal bays, originally designed as two unequal rooms below, which have since been altered. The rooms on the right are at a lower level on both floors. The original right end of the house was a two or three bay structure with 1½ storeys, which was later extended with a two-bay wing to the left, reducing the original section to the same width as the extension.
