Thurton Hall

Thurton Hall is a country house dating from the 17th century. It features a combination of brick and timber frame construction, with flint and brick gables. The front elevation is rendered and has ashlar detailing, topped by a steeply-pitched pantile roof. The building is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar.

The facade is symmetrical with five bays, highlighted by a central three-storey porch. The ground floor windows are set in segmental-headed recesses adorned with brick dentil ornament and consist of 4-light casements with a transom and glazing bars. One window to the east of the porch is partially blocked, revealing a square-headed cellar window below. The first floor windows are square, featuring 3-light casements with glazing bars, moulded mullions, and transoms, although the westernmost window has been replaced at a later date.

The porch has segmental arches over the ground and first-floor openings, with the entrance door framed in a square-headed moulded frame. The first-floor window above the door is a 3-light casement with a transom and glazing bars, while the attic has a square cross-casement with glazing bars. The corners of the building are accentuated by giant pilasters on moulded bases. The east and west gables have crow-stepped detailing and internal stacks, with a ridge stack located off-centre to the west. Staged brick buttresses are present on the west gable.

A later hipped extension has been added to the south-east corner, creating a double pile, along with a gabled wing to the south made of flint and brick. This section features casements with glazing bars, some of which retain leaded glazing. A large external chimney stack is located on the south range. Additionally, there is a well-preserved early 17th-century doorway with a moulded frame in the west wall, complemented by three-light casements with glazing bars in the south wall.
