Thurstons

Thurstons is a Grade II* listed farmhouse dating from the early to mid 16th century. It has an L-shaped plan with a dairy wing at the rear. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a modern concrete pantile roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic, while the dairy wing also has two storeys. The layout consists of three cells with a cross passage entry.

The windows are primarily 20th-century casements with leaded panes, including two large five-light moulded mullion windows on the first floor at the south end, one smaller four-light mullion window, and one 17th-century three-light casement window with diamond leaded panes. The main front features two mid-20th-century glazed doors and a boarded half-door leading to the dairy wing.

Inside, there is a substantial internal stack that is square in section, with sawtooth brickwork on each side. The interior boasts fine roll-moulded beams and joists in one ground floor room, with some roll-moulding present in two other rooms. There are two service doorways off the cross passage, each with four-centre arches and carved spandrels. A carved door leads to a salt cupboard, and the first floor features a plaster chimney piece that incorporates Tudor rose and Fleur-de-lys motifs.
