Thorne House And Attached Boundary Wall

Thorne House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a detached house. It dates from the late 17th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from dressed limestone and features a tiled roof with brick stacks. It has an H-plan layout, with a former barn range at the rear and a 17th-century gable end facing the road.

The west front, which was modified in the 19th century, is two stories high and has three windows. The entrance door, located to the left, has six fielded panels and a transom light above, topped with a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. To the left of the door is a 16-pane sash window and a two-light casement window. On the first floor, there are two 9-pane sash windows and one two-light casement window. Attached to the left side is a former outhouse featuring two-light casement windows.

The left side of the building showcases the 17th-century range, which includes a two-light recessed chamfered casement window on the ground floor of the return facing the front. The gable end has a recessed oval plaster panel on the first floor and a bull's-eye window in the attic. There is also a three-step stone mounting block against this wall. The right return reveals the south front of the 17th-century range, which has French windows to the left and three two-light mullioned casement windows to the right. The first floor features three two-light mullioned casement windows and a recessed oval plaster panel, with the right bay being an early 18th-century addition.

At the rear, there is a single leaded casement window in the 17th-century range, while the 19th-century range has 9-pane sash windows and 20th-century casements. A single-storey rear wing, which was formerly a barn, now has patio doors and 20th-century leaded casements, topped with a half-hipped thatched roof.

Inside, the house features chamfered beams and two open fireplaces with chamfered lintels set on stone jambs. The 19th-century range includes doors with six fielded panels in moulded architraves, and the staircase has a wreathed handrail. Attached to the south of the 17th-century range is a dressed limestone wall with ceramic weathered coping, which is approximately 75 metres long.
