Description
Kingsthorpe Hall, formerly known as Thornton Hall, is a building dating from around 1775, designed by John Johnson of Leicester. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a low-pitched hipped slate roof behind a low parapet. The building has a rectangular plan with a west entrance front that is five windows wide. The windows are sashes with glazing bars set in reveals, and there is a plinth and a first-floor sill band. The ground floor windows are situated in arched panels. The entrance door is located within a modern glazed wood porch and has an architrave surround beneath a cornice.
Inside, the hall retains original carved marble chimneypieces and a fine spiral staircase with a wrought iron balustrade, all under a lantern dome. Kingsthorpe Hall and its stables are part of a group.
