Sydenham House (previously, Sidelham, or Sidraham) is a 17th century manor house in Marystow, about 13 miles south-west of Okehampton. Incorporating an older dwelling and built for Sir Thomas Wise between 1600 and 1612, it was partially destroyed by fire in 2012. Part of the house dates from the fourteenth century, and is said to have originally formed a quadrangle or H, but in the reign of Elizabeth it was built into the shape of an E, and is a perfect example of Tudor domestic architecture.
