Description
Thistleton is a 16th-century house that was restored in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with a brick plinth and colourwashed render, topped with a thatched roof. The house is two storeys high and consists of five bays. The front of the building has 20th-century windows, including two 2-light casements on the ground floor to the right and a single-light window to the left. On the first floor, there are three 2-light casements. There is an axial ridge stack on the left side with two flues, and a lean-to outshut on the left as well.
The right gable end has a 2-light casement on the ground floor to the right and a central 2-light window on the first floor below the gable. The left gable end features a 2-light casement on the left, the lean-to on the right, and a 3-light casement on the first floor. At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to outshut on the left with a pantile roof, and to the right of this, a 3-light casement from the 20th century. The first floor has three single-light casements.
Inside, the house has massive chamfered ceiling beams with run-out stops that rest on planted wall posts with planted knee-joints. The joists also have run-out stops. There is a brick chimney with a chamfered bressumer that appears to have been lowered. A doorway with a 4-centered head, likely taken from an external door, features flower and fernleaf motifs in the spandrels. The dining room has further close studding, some of which was brought from the Ancient House in Burgh. There is a window with four lights, chamfered mullions, and 4-centered heads with hollow spandrels. On the first floor, the walls are close-studded with angle braces, jowled wall posts, and there is one plank door dating from the 17th century.
