Thorganby House

A house dating to around 1850, possibly designed by Edward Blore. The house is constructed of reddish-orange brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The building is square in shape. The front of the house has two storeys and three windows on the first floor. It features a plinth and quoins. The central entrance has a six-panel door with an overlight, set within a chamfered surround and basket-arched architrave. The ground floor has three three-light mullion windows, with quoined and double-chamfered surrounds and hoodmoulds, and two two-light mullion windows matching these details. Above the door is a single-light window within a slightly projecting bay with quoins. All windows are twelve-pane sashes. A modillion eaves band runs along the top of the front facade. To the left is a gabled end section of the side elevation, with two-light sashes within quoined surrounds to the gable and a full-height, slightly projecting stack with quoined sides, surmounted by three diamond-set stacks. A ridge stack is also present. The right side of the building features ashlar coping, kneeler stones, and a finial. The left return, facing the garden, has two storeys and three bays, with the left bay projecting and being gabled with an attic. This section also has a plinth and quoins, along with two- and three-light mullion windows in similar surrounds and mainly under hoodmoulds; the windows on the gabled bay are under a continuous hoodmould. A corner stack rises from the first floor level. A modillion eaves band is present. The side return also has ashlar coping, kneeler stones, and a finial. The interior features shutters to most windows. A dog-leg staircase has turned balusters.
