The Throne

Farmhouse. Dating from the 16th century, it was extended in the early 17th century and altered in the late 18th century. The house is timber-framed with rendered infill on a plinth of coursed rubble, extended in brick and rendered brick, and has a tile roof. It is arranged in an L-shape, with a cross-wing extending to the east of the original 16th-century range, and a further extension to the south in the 18th century. A main stack is positioned centrally at the south end of the 16th-century range. The west front has a gabled cross-wing on the left, formerly jettied, with a single-light casement window on the first floor. The main range is continuously jettied, featuring four windows; these are two-light casements, except for the central window, which has three lights. All the windows have 18th-century decorative leaded lights. The ground floor windows are a single-light, a five-light, and a two-light casement. The five-light window has plastered mullions and cinquefoiled heads with pierced spandrels. A four-panel door is located to the right of the main range. To the right of the door is an 18th-century extension of one storey with an attic, lit by two gabled dormers above two two-light casement windows with cinquefoiled lights. A further brick range to the right has two segmentally headed windows. The timber framing consists of two square panels high on each floor, with curved brackets supporting the jetty. The gable of the cross-wing has carved bargeboards. The north wall of the cross-wing features curved tension braces. The east gable end has herringbone framing, as does a former porch on the back of the main range, which has a heavily carved bressummer.
