Description
Thirley Beck Farmhouse is a farmhouse believed to date from 1643, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared rubble stone set on a chamfered plinth and features a pantile roof with rebuilt brick stacks. The building has a 3-cell, direct-entry plan, with a 19th-century service outshut to the right and rear. It is two stories tall with an attic and has a three-window front.
The central doorway has a chamfered stone surround and a triangular head, topped with a 19th-century gabled porch. On either side of the doorway are three-light windows with chamfered mullions, and there are fire windows at each end of the building. Above, the original openings have been fitted with two-light 20th-century casements that replace former mullions. The roof features chamfered coping and cyma moulded kneelers, along with 20th-century dormers and end stacks.
Inside, the ground floor displays exposed quarter-round moulded beams throughout. The room to the right includes a segmental-arched fireplace. On the first floor, two 17th-century beams have been reused alongside 19th-century beams in the bedroom to the left. There is also an 18th-century door next to the attic staircase.
