Description
Thursford Old Hall is a house that was originally the service wing of a 16th-century house, altered in 1857 for the Scott-Chad family. It was built in a High Victorian Jacobethan style using red brick with cement dressings and features a red fish-scale patterned tiled roof. The building has an 'H' plan layout with two storeys and a double pile center cross wings.
The west front has a four-bay center with three ground floor and four first floor casements, all featuring cement quoins and pediments. There is a porch with entrance and side arches, and a Dutch gable with cement dressings. The ground floor has a plinth, while the first floor has a casement platband and an elaborate brick corbelling eaves cornice. The downpipes are marked with "S-C 1857".
On the north and south gables, there are single casements on either side of external stacks, all with cement dressings, stone corbels, and shaped gables. The north gable has chimneys with two shafts featuring star pattern projections, with a coping set of three at the ridge and two at the northeast gable. The southwest corner has two stacks on the gable and two on the ridge. The cross wing front pile has two sets of two stacks, while the rear pile has a plinth only with a four-stack set. The house was formerly attached at the southeast corner and was sold and demolished after 1916.
