Northolme

Northolme is a late 18th-century house and attached outbuilding, originally a shop, now used as a house. It is situated in Thorner Church View, near Leeds. The building is constructed of punch-dressed stone with a concrete pantile roof and has an L-shaped plan. It is three storeys high, with three bays across the front, and a two-storey, single-bay outbuilding to the left. Quoins are present.

The facade of the house is symmetrical. It features a semicircular-arched doorway with a glazed fanlight and a tripartite keystone. Sashes with flat arches and projecting sills are present, with smaller six-pane sashes on the second floor. A central window on the second floor is blind. Gable stacks rise from the roof. The outbuilding projects forward and retains a former first-floor taking-in door, noted by its tie-stone jambs and a monopitched roof.

On the return side, the outbuilding has a segmental-arched cart-entry, originally with dressed stone voussoirs and skewbacks, now blocked to form a domestic doorway. An original doorway is visible to the right, with tie-stone jambs and an overlight; a square, six-pane fixed-light window sits to its left, and a matching window is directly above.

A plan of Thorner from approximately 1834 by Henry Teal illustrates the building and describes it as a house and shop occupied by Thomas Tarboton.
