Thornton Fields Farmhouse

Thornton Fields Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1840. The front is constructed of brick in Flemish bond, while the rear uses English Garden Wall bond. It has a Burlington slate roof with diminishing courses and stone gable copings. The building is three storeys high and has three bays. The right-hand side bay originally featured a full-height bow window, which has been replaced by a square brick bay from around 1960. The other windows are sashes with glazing bars and painted stone sills. The central doorway has double part-glazed doors and a rectangular fanlight, with a canopy supported by square brick pillars, also dating to around 1960. Inside, the farmhouse retains its original staircase in a spacious entrance hall, which has a floor made of coloured quarry tiles arranged in a complex geometric pattern, crafted by an unknown Italian artisan.
