Thorngrove

Thorngrove is a small country house built in the late 18th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork with dressed alternating freestone quoins, a stone cornice, a brick parapet with stone coping, coped verges, and a double-span slate roof with end brick stacks that have moulded caps. The house has a symmetrical Georgian frontage and is two storeys high with five bays. The first floor has twelve-pane sash windows with ornamental horizontally-sliding louvred shutters that have rails and stepped voussoirs above. To the left of the ground floor is a four-light segmental bow with a cornice and parapet, and to the right is a six-light canted bow, also with a cornice and parapet. The central door opening features a projecting ashlar porch with a cornice, likely added later, and has paired four-panelled doors.

To the right, there is a two-bay wing that is set back and conforms to the main style, with sash windows that have glazing bars and louvred shutters on the first floor, and French windows with close-set glazing bars on the ground floor. There is also a small 20th-century conservatory. Inside, the house retains a staircase that is contemporary with the building.
