Description

The stable block with an attached cottage at Thorpe Tilney Hall dates from around 1740. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar and brick dressings and features a hipped pantile roof. The building has a single storey plus an attic and consists of seven bays. The central bay is wide and slightly projecting, with a gabled roof and a large brick segment-headed carriage arch. On either side are single three-bay wings, each containing a central plank door with a louvred overlight, flanked by single glazing bar sash windows. All these openings are topped with segmental brick heads that have ashlar keystones. Above the central gable, which is ashlar coped with kneelers, is a large Diocletian window. Each wing features a central hipped dormer with glazing bar sashes. Atop the central gable is a wooden octagonal cupola with eight arched openings, a leaded roof, and an ornate iron weather-vane.

The rear west wing serves as a two-storey cottage, which has a 20th-century concrete tile roof and a single ridge stack. It features a first-floor band and dentilated brick eaves, with four irregular bays. The plan is lobby-entry, with an off-centre 20th-century half-glazed door, a single cross casement to the left, and two similar windows to the right, along with a small fixed light, all having segmental brick heads. On the first floor, there are three similar cross casements and a smaller casement above the doorway. To the north, there is a single-storey outbuilding with two plank doors and a small 20th-century casement.
