Thurston House

Thurston House is a substantial early 19th century house located on Rectory Grove. It is three storeys high with a sunk basement and features five windows, along with an additional left bay over the carriageway. The building is constructed of stock brick, with a stuccoed first floor cill band and a basement plinth. It has a low pitched hipped slate roof with mutules at the eaves. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are topped with gauged flat brick arches.

Access to the house is via three steps leading to a recessed double door, which has a feathered head that projects forward to form an impost band of an arched recess. This recess is adorned with an inner reeded architrave around a fanlight, all set within a rusticated surround made of alternating brick and stone, featuring a female mask on the keystone. The building also displays similar rustication on the Tudor-shaped carriage arch and on a blocked elliptical carriage arch in the wall that projects to the left, which also has a keystone mask.
