Throstle Nest

This is a house, likely dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, built using stonework from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with a graduated stone slate roof. The house has two storeys and three bays, with the left bay set back. It features quoins. A 20th-century half-glazed door sits within a moulded surround, topped with an ogee-shaped lintel, and is sheltered by a two-storey jettied gabled porch. The upper storey of the porch has a three-light recessed-chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould, a gable coping with kneelers, and ball finials. Large two-light mullion windows, also with hoodmoulds (the sill levels likely lowered), are positioned on either side of the porch. The gables have cavetto-moulded kneelers and end stacks, with the left stack corniced and the right stack banded. The rear of the property includes a projecting 18th or 19th-century wing and lean-to additions, and no original windows are visible there. The interior retains no evidence of the original layout, although the 17th-century stonework used in the facade may be reused and is comparable to that at White Oak Farm.
