Without doubt one of the finest houses in Sydling St Nicholas, East House is a most handsome Georgian home of classical proportions with a Grade II listing, as being of architectural and historical importance. Set well back from the village lane behind a decorative red brick wall, East House has a lovely private setting within the village. It has retained many distinctive architectural features including tall, wide sash windows, an open fireplace in the drawing room and plentiful original joinery decorated with flourishes of the Indian sub-continent.
