Description
Thornberry Hill Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with a mid-19th century white brick casing on the front wall. The roof is plain tiled and has two parallel and adjoining ranges with a steeply pitched gabled roof. The front range includes a late 18th-century red brick end stack and a later end stack. The building has two storeys and an attic, with two gable dormers. The symmetrical facade showcases later 19th-century recessed hung sash windows, and the central doorway is flanked by canted bays.
