Description

Thimble Hall is a lodge dated 1847, as indicated by a plaque on the door. It is constructed of stone and features a slate roof. The building is one storey high and consists of three bays. The windows have two lights with ovolo mullions set in chamfered reveals. There is an enclosed porch with a coped gable. The entrance is Tudor-arched, complete with a hood mould and a blind lancet above, and it has 20th-century glazed doors. The original inner door has four pointed panels and the date plaque. The returns of the building feature canted bay windows with hipped roofs and coped gables adorned with quatrefoils. There are three cruciform stacks topped with a single stone cap. To the left of the porch, there is a stone-coped brick wall with decorative iron railings.
