Thirkleby Barugh

Thirkleby Barugh is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with 19th-century additions and later alterations. It is constructed of brownish brick, with coursed squared stone at the rear of the earlier range, and features a pantile roof. The house has a hearth-passage plan.

The garden front is two storeys high and has five bays, with the right bay being an addition and a rear wing behind the fourth bay. There is a six-panel door, where the top two panels are fielded and the others are incised, located in the third bay, accompanied by a 20th-century window in an enlarged opening to the right and a 20th-century doorway at the far right. The remaining bays have 16-pane sash windows set in flush wood architraves with projecting sills, unhorned in the two left bays and on the ground floor of these bays, which are under flat brick arches. A two-course band runs along the first floor, and there is an eaves band. Stacks are located at the left end, between the left-hand bays, above the door (which has been rebuilt), and above the fourth bay.

At the rear, the three right bays are made of stone and feature a round-arched first-floor stair window to the left of the two bays with four-pane sashes. There are also 20th-century enlarged openings to the wing. The left return is constructed of rubblestone with a brick gable. Inside, there was a former inglenook fireplace in the room to the left of the centre, which has now been removed, with the stair located behind it against the rear wall. The doors are of six fielded panels.
