Description

Thatcham House is a Gothic-style house built between 1850 and 1860. It is constructed of red brick with some black diapering and features stone window dressings, balustrades, bands, a plinth, and a parapet. The roof is plain tiled with ridge cresting, and the gables are parapetted with kneelers and finials. The house has various chimneys and an off-centre turret to the right, which has an embattled stone parapet and trefoiled window openings.

The building is two storeys high, with an attic on the right, and consists of two blocks. On the left side of the centre, there are two ground floor square bay windows topped with an unpierced quatrefoil parapet and a 10-light stone mullioned and transomed window. The first floor has three windows, with large arches above the ones on the right and left, featuring plain and fish-scaled tile hanging. The wooden casements are 6-light mullioned and transomed, with small slit openings in the gables above. A cross window is located in the centre, with a gable above that hides a hipped roof behind. The central door has a pointed arch with a moulded surround, a hood mould, and carved stops, set in a square head with quatrefoils in the spandrels.

To the right of centre, there is a two-storey bay window on the left with a quatrefoil parapet, and two gabled dormers with decorated barge boards. An embattled wall is situated to the right. A conservatory made of wood and glass is located to the left, featuring three parallel ranges, with the central one being taller. It has a central arched doorway with Gothic glazing and plain geometrical tracery in the gable above. At the rear, there is a canted stone bay window with cusped tracery and traceried panels in the embattled parapet, along with an ogee arched doorway to the left in an entrance porch that also has an embattled parapet.
