Thimble Hall

Thimble Hall is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It features a painted stone ground floor and a roughcast timber-framed first floor, topped with a slate roof. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and has two bays, with the first floor jettied. It has wide eaves on beam ends.

On the ground floor, there is a former shop front that has been filled with boarding, a window with small-paned fixed glazing and an upper opening light, and a four-panel door with three top lights. To the right, there is a four-light wooden mullioned window with intermediate bars and leaded glazing. The first floor has projecting wooden mullioned windows with transoms and leaded glazing, consisting of three lights and four lights. A small right return features a sashed window with glazing bars. The attic includes gabled tile-hung dormers with casements, and the rear of the building has a three-light wooden mullioned window. Thimble Hall is owned by the National Trust and was a gift from Beatrix Potter.
