2, Thorpe Lane

No 2 Thorpe Lane is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of brown brick with ashlar dressings and has a pantile roof. The building has a plan that features two rooms deep, with an original central two-storey stair turret at the rear and an 18th-century stair turret to the right that abuts the Gatehouse. There is a two-storey infill between these turrets, a single-storey outshut to the left, and an outshut at the left gable. The house stands two storeys high with an attic and has four bays.

Access is via two steps leading to a central 20th-century glazed double doorway, which is topped by a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars. The entrance is framed by a pilastered porch with an entablature that interrupts the three-course band at the first floor. The windows throughout the ground and first floors are sashes with stone cills and stone wedge lintels. There are four 19th-century gable-ended dormer windows. The roof is steeply pitched and features swept ridges and stacks. Inside, there are some beamed ceilings, a bressummer beam over the kitchen fireplace, and staircases with 17th and 18th-century balusters.
