Thorpe Tilney Hall

A small country house, dating from around 1740, with additions from the early 19th century and restoration work carried out around 1980. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs, with four brick gable stacks. The house is two storeys plus an attic.

The west front, which is five bays wide, features an ashlar plinth, a first-floor band, rusticated quoins, a dentilated wooden cornice, and a brick parapet with ashlar coping. A slightly projecting central bay is topped by a dentilated wooden open pediment. The central doorway is Venetian, with a half-glazed door, fanlight, and narrow flanking lights. The surround includes Doric pilasters and an entablature, with broken pediments over the side lights and a double keystone above the arch. Flanking the doorway are two sash windows with flat brick wedge lintels and ashlar keystones. Above the doorway is a central Venetian window flanked by two sash windows with similar brick and ashlar detailing. In the pediment above is a Diocletian window, and concealed behind the parapet are two dormers on either side, each with a sash window and a small segmental pediment. Flanking the main block are slightly recessed single-bay and single-storey lean-tos, featuring ashlar coped, ramped brick parapets. Each lean-to has a single glazing bar sash under a flat brick wedge lintel and an ashlar keystone.

The four-bay east front, which was restored to its original appearance after 19th-century additions were removed, has a brick first-floor band. An off-centre round-headed doorway has a six-panel door and a tall overlight; to the left is a round-headed sash window. The outer bays each have a Venetian window. Above are four sashes, set under segmental brick heads. Further above are four dormers with sashes and small segmental pediments. Flanking the main block are recessed single-bay and single-storey lean-tos, with ashlar coped, ramped brick parapets, each containing a single sash under a segmental brick head. All the visible windows feature glazing bar sashes.

The interior contains an early 19th-century staircase, with stick balusters, a single central flight, and double flight returns.
