Description
Thornfalcon House is a house dating from the early 19th century, possibly incorporating parts of an earlier dwelling. It features roughcast over rubble, with one bay of the right return exposed. The building has shallow pitched hipped slate roofs, a renewed moulded cornice, two central brick stacks, and a brick stack at the rear. The house is designed in a T-plan, south-facing layout with two cells and a cross passage, and a stairway located in the hall behind. There is a long service wing that likely represents an earlier dwelling that has been refronted and reconstructed.
The north front of the house is two storeys high and has three bays, with the central bay breaking forward and featuring pilaster quoins linked below the cornice. The first floor has a 9-pane sash window, while the ground floor has long 12-pane sash windows that reach to the ground. The central entrance has a rusticated Ham stone door surround with a semicircular headed opening, which contains 20th-century double doors with inserted lights and a wooden fanlight. The left return has a 1:3:1 bay arrangement, with a 9-pane sash window in the end bay on the right, and other openings that are depressed pointed arches, including 4-light casements and pointed arch lights. The end bay on the left has a lower independently roofed section. The irregular placement of windows in the central block suggests the presence of an earlier dwelling. The interior has not been seen.
