Sydenham House, Devon, Manor house in Marystow, Devon, England

The stone manor spans across 1,200 acres of countryside, featuring granite window frames and a symmetrical E-shaped facade with four distinct entrances.

Built between 1600 and 1612 by Sir Thomas Wise, the manor incorporates elements of an older structure mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

The manor contains several preserved architectural elements, including original glass windows, oak paneling, and a granite fireplace marked with the year 1656.

The property underwent extensive restoration following a fire in 2012, which required specialized reconstruction of historic features including the staircase ceiling.

During recent renovations, workers discovered Tudor roses behind 17th-century paneling, revealing previously unknown Elizabethan plasterwork within the walls.
