Thingdon Cottage And Attached Wall

Thingdon Cottage is a house dating from 1862, likely designed by E.F. Law for William Mackworth-Dolben. It is constructed from ironstone ashlar and features a slate and pantile roof, with an L-shaped plan and two storeys. The elevation facing Stocks Hill has a two-window range and a cross wing to the right. The door opening on the left has been converted into a two-light stone-mullion window. To the right on the first floor, there is a four-light stone-mullion window that displays coats of arms at its head, all framed by a stepped drip mould and set in an arched recess. The gable parapets are made of ashlar and have kneelers, with corniced store stacks at each end. The left side of the building has an inscription reading "Thingdon Cottage" and features a trefoil with a central V inscribed on the gable.

To the left, there is a single-storey section with a three-window range, which includes one two-light stone-mullion window and a two-stage buttress. The right elevation mirrors this style, displaying two- and three-light stone-mullion windows, with a small gable above the first-floor window. The rear elevation maintains a similar style, featuring arch-headed openings at the ground floor and two- and three-light stone-mullion windows. The first-floor windows are topped with gables, and the first floor of the cross wing has a corbelled gable end. There is a double niche on the return wall of the cross wing, supported by a detached central column. Various coats of arms and carved heads serve as label stops. The interior was not inspected. Attached to the north side of the cottage is a 19th-century ironstone wall that has part ashlar coping and one square pier.
