Golden House And Attached Outbuilding

Golden House is a 17th-century house with 19th-century windows, located on the south side of High Street in Thorncombe. The building features chert and stone rubble walls with large stone quoins and a concrete tile roof that has gable-ends and a hipped corner, supported by four brick stacks at the ridge and gable-ends. It has an L-shaped plan and a door on the northeast side. The house is two storeys tall with a four-window range positioned at right angles to the street. The ground floor windows have 20th-century metal frames, while the first-floor windows are 19th-century cast-iron casements. Inside, there is a deep-chamfered ceiling beam with run-out stops and a large open fireplace at the rear with a chamfered lintel. Attached to the house is an outbuilding that runs along the street, featuring rubble walls, brick quoins, and a slate roof. Golden House is an important feature in the High Street, notable for its curving street-frontage.
