Description
Thornleigh Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with later additions. It is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof with verge parapets. The building has a stone corniced ashlar end stack on the left and a side stack on the right of the front, both capped in brick.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with a cellar and has a three-window south front set on a plinth. The first floor has chamfered mullion windows with three, four, and five lights, although two of the windows are blocked and the five-light window has been reduced to four lights. The ground floor also features windows with three, four, and five lights, with a blocked three-light cellar bulkhead window located below and to the left of the centre window. The right-hand window has been reduced to two lights. There are labels above the first-floor windows and a label string over the ground floor windows, which steps over the centre window and wraps around the prominently positioned stack on the right of centre.
Mid-19th century additions include an entrance on the north side and a further five-light chamfered mullion window on the ground floor of the right-hand gable.
