Thistley Farmhouse

Thistley Farmhouse is a house built around 1700, constructed from dark red and blue brick in Flemish bond, with lighter red dressings. It features a steeply pitched old red tile roof and is two storeys high with attics, following a two-cell internal chimney plan. The west-facing front has two three-light flush casement windows on the first floor, which have lattice leaded glazing and iron central openings with 2/2 panes. On the ground floor, there are two flush box sash windows with 3/3 panes that correspond to the three-light windows above, and between them is a four-panel flush-beaded door with a heavy buttress on the left side that rises to the plat-band across the front. The eaves project with a plastered soffit. There are two gable dormer windows on the roof slope, each with two-light leaded casements. A large square chimney rises centrally from the rear of the ridge. At the north end, there is a tiled brick lean-to that extends to the rear with a single-storey building that has a chimney on its north side. The rear roof slope is carried down as a catslide over the rear outshut, and the south end is roughcast.
