Description
Martinsthorpe Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and has a stone tiled roof. The building has one and a half storeys, with all ground floor openings bricked up, although it may have originally had a central doorway. There is one upper window that is blocked but still features an ovolo moulded mullion. The house has three large gabled and coped dormers and a moulded sill course. A single two-light mullioned window is located in the gable. At the rear, there is a plinth with a ground-level blocked window and other blocked openings at various heights. The most prominent feature at the back is a central stack that projects from a massive gable. Moulded stone stacks are also present on the end gables, which are coped and made of large stepped stones. This house is the only remaining structure from the village of Martinsthorpe, which is said to have been converted from the stables of a former mansion. The house has been long abandoned, and many of its features have been blocked up. The village was deserted in 1589, the hall was demolished in 1775, and this house shows no signs of the former stables.
