Description
Thornbush Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 16th century, with alterations around 1600 and in the 20th century. It features a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan and stands two storeys high. The structure is timber-framed and rough-cast, with a roof covered in glazed and unglazed clay pantiles. There is a central 17th-century chimney made of red brick, which has a sawtooth shaft on an oblong base.
The building includes 20th-century casements and a panelled entrance door located at the cross-entry position. Inside, there are some heavy unchamfered first-floor joists and a reset 4-centred arched doorway in the hall. To the right, the parlour cell showcases good complete close-studding from around 1600. The 18th-century butt-purlin roof over the hall incorporates several smoke-encrusted medieval rafters, which may have originally come from this house.
