Description
Thimble Hill is a house located in Cartmel, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features roughcast stone construction and a slate roof, with two storeys and three bays. Most of the windows are sashed with single glazing bars and horns, except for the first bay on the ground floor, which has paired windows with a hollow-chamfered mullion and sashes with glazing bars. The entrance is adorned with Tuscan columns, a frieze, and a pediment, and includes a six-fielded-panel door, two of which are glazed. The house has a cross-axial stack and a gable-end stack. The right side has a sashed window and a gabled projection. At the rear, there is an outshut beneath a catslide roof and two stacks in the roof slope, along with a window featuring small-paned fixed glazing.
