Description

Throapham House is a house that likely dates from the late 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of coursed, squared limestone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a wing at the rear left and a later range that runs parallel to the front and extends beyond the right side.

The house is two storeys high and has a layout of four bays on one side and one bay on the other. It has a plinth and chamfered quoins. The second bay features a 20th-century door with an overlight, framed by an architrave with a consoled pediment. The flanking windows, which were boarded up at the time of the survey, also have architraves, except for the fourth and fifth bays, which are set back and have projecting sills with plain lintels. On the first floor, a band rises from the door pediment, and there are four-pane sash windows in architraves, with the fourth and fifth bays matching the style below. The eaves feature a band, and the hipped roof has two rendered ridge stacks on the main range and a rendered end stack at the fifth bay.

On the left side of the house, there are four bays. There is an architraved doorway on the ground floor, and three first-floor windows that have architraves, along with kneelers and gable copings, and a rear end stack. Inside, there is a service stair with splat balusters, a main stair with turned balusters and a fielded-panel dado, and curved principal rafters.
