Description
Thingley Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse that primarily dates from the 16th to 17th century, though it likely has earlier origins. There have been some alterations made in the 18th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone and features stone-tiled roofs. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range on the left side, which includes a ridge stack, a coped gable at the south end, an outside stack, and heavy cornerstones at the south end.
On the upper floor, there are three two-light windows; two of these are 18th-century flush cyma-moulded windows, while one is a recessed hollow-moulded window from the 16th or 17th century. The ground floor features an 18th-century two-light window with a hoodmould, a door with a dripstone above, and a 19th-century timber porch. Additionally, there is a single light window and a 19th-century canted bay with long casement windows.
At the rear, there is a lean-to structure on the right with a blank gable above it and a smaller lean-to on the left, which has an eaves dormer gable and a timber-mullion two-light window. The range on the right side is one and a half storeys high at the front, featuring a coped gable on the left and a ridge stack on the main range. This gable includes a three-light hollow-moulded window with a hoodmould above a large 19th-century canted stone bay. The main range has a pair of casement windows above two doors and is attached to an outbuilding range at the northeast corner.
To the rear, there is a two and a half storey cross-gabled block from the 17th century, with gables facing west, north, and south, and a roof that hipped down towards the front range on the east. The south gable has a stack. The block has a one-room plan with recessed ovolo-moulded windows, including two-light windows in the attic and three-light windows on the main floors, all featuring hoodmoulds on the west end and north side, while the south side has one three-light window on the first floor.
