Thornthorpe Manor House

Thornthorpe Manor House is a house dating from the late 16th century or 17th century, with earlier origins and a 19th-century addition. It is constructed of limestone rubble and has a pantile roof. The building is arranged in a 2-cell layout, likely originally designed for direct entry, with a later cross wing. It stands two storeys high and features three windows on the first floor. The exterior has quoins and irregular fenestration, with 16-pane sash and casement windows beneath wooden lintels. On the first floor, there are two casements and a three-light Yorkshire sash window. The original entrance is located in the rear facade but has been incorporated into the later addition. The roof has been retiled and features a stack that rises through the pitch of the roof.

Inside, there is a large basket-arched stone fireplace with keel moulding, which has been partially rebuilt, and an ogee-arched aumbry set into the wall to the right. The roof structure consists of trenched purlin tie-beam and collar type, likely dating from the late 16th century or 17th century, but a fragment of timber studding and a massive stone staircase in the attic suggest that the house has earlier origins and was substantially rebuilt. The 19th-century wing to the west is not of special interest.
