Description
Thorpe House is an early 19th-century painted brick house that was formerly known as The Rectory. It features a slate hipped roof with wide eaves and stands three storeys tall, with bands at the cill levels. The south front has four bays, with sash windows that include glazing bars. The ground floor sashes reach down to ground level, and the window heads are adorned with keyblocks that have vermiculation. On the east side, there are three bays, with the centre of the first floor being blind. The central entrance is framed by a Doric doorcase that has wide fluted pilasters and a heavy entablature decorated with triglyphs and mutules, leading to a panelled door that is partly glazed.
