Description
Ladythorne House is a house built in 1721 for Robert Wilkes. It is constructed of brick in English Garden Wall Bond with ashlar dressings and features a Scottish slate roof. The building has two storeys and five bays, with a chamfered plinth and rusticated quoins. The centre bay slightly projects forward. The entrance includes a two-leaf, half-glazed 20th-century door set in an eared segment-headed architrave, with an outer surround featuring panelled pilasters and a segmental cornice supported by large stone brackets.
The windows have renewed 12-pane sashes in raised segment-headed keyed surrounds with roll-moulded edges. Above the first floor, there is a band with keystones that are tied in. The house has a plain parapet and a steeply-pitched roof with stepped gables. The interior has been entirely renewed.
