Thorney Croft Farmhouse With Adjoining Barn And Byres

Thorney Croft is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, with later additions. The house has been extended by one bay into the adjoining barn on the right side in 1903. It is built from coursed, squared rubble with quoins and is whitewashed. The roofs are covered with graduated slate. The house features wings at the rear and is two storeys tall, while the barn is lower. The structure has 11 bays, arranged in a 3:4:4 pattern. The 1903 extension includes a part-glazed door within a 20th-century glazed porch, with an inserted window immediately to the left and a sash window above. The original house has a three-light stone-mullioned window and a casement on the ground floor, along with three casements above, all set in stone surrounds. There are stone end chimneys on the original house. The barn, adjoining to the right, has a central wagon door, with additional doors and windows on the ground floor on either side, and a loft door to the upper right. The byre, set back on the left, features two plank doors on the ground floor with stone steps leading up to two first-floor plank doors.
