Thurcroft Hall

Thurcroft Hall is a country house dated 1699, which was raised and refronted in the mid to late 18th century. The building is finished in stucco and has a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and features a seven by three bay layout, with a single-bay addition to the front right and a wing extending to the rear right. The structure includes a plinth and rusticated quoins.

Access to the main entrance is via two steps leading to a six-panel door, which is topped by a plain overlight and set within a bolection-moulded architrave that has a pulvinated frieze and a segmental pediment. Above the door, there is an architraved sash window that displays the date 1699 and a sill inscribed with the motto 'JOIR EN BIEN'. The sashes on the ground and first floors have hollow-chamfered sills and bead-moulded surrounds, although many of these surrounds are made of concrete. A band runs along the first floor, while a sill band on the second floor connects the sashes, which are mostly in their original stone surrounds. The cornice and blocking course crown the hipped roof, which features rendered stacks on the side ridges.

The added two-storey bay on the front right has sash windows on each floor. At the rear, there is a Roman Doric stair-window with sashes that include glazing bars. On the left side, the central ground-floor window is blind, while the outer windows have lowered sills. There is a sash with glazing bars in the first-floor bay three, and six-pane sashes on the second floor.

Inside, the entrance hall boasts a wooden sidewall fireplace with consoles and a frieze adorned with trophies, as well as enriched plaster wall panels and an acanthus ceiling feature. A staircase located off the hall to the rear left has cantilevered treads and a wrought-iron balustrade with a wooden handrail. The stair-window features enriched inner columns, and the stairwell is decorated with plaster wall panels and a modillioned cornice. A ground-floor room to the rear left showcases an ornate plaster ceiling that depicts scenes from Aesop's fables, while the room to the front right features a domed niche, an elaborate frieze, and Rococo plasterwork on the ceiling's center and corners.
