Description
High Thorneyburn Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, with a rear wing added in the mid 19th century. It is constructed of roughly-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof at the front and a graduated Lakeland slate roof at the rear. The building is designed in an L-plan with an outshut in the re-entrant angle.
The farmhouse stands two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance consists of a two-leaf, four-panel door with an overlight, set in a slightly-chamfered raised stone surround. The windows are 24-pane sashes, also in raised stone surrounds, with the first-floor right window being a renewed 24-pane sash. The roof is quite steeply pitched and gabled, featuring banded end stacks, flat coping with splayed edges, and boldly curved kneelers.
