Thonoge House

Detached seven-bay two-storey house, southern five bays built c. 1680, end bays paired, and northern two bays built c.1860, latter having recent single-storey extension to south bay at rear. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Pebbledashed walls. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash windows, three-over-six pane to first floor and six-over-six pane to ground floor, all having limestone sills. Elliptical-headed door opening with tooled limestone surround, having replacement timber panelled door flanked by panelled pilasters, having decorative arcade detail to fanlight, and limestone steps. Segmental-arched pedestrian entrance with brick voussoirs, to yard behind and to north-east of site, with wrought-iron gate and set into crenellated wall. Cast-iron double-leaf entrance gates to yard, set to dressed limestone piers. Three-bay single storey gate lodge to east of site with pitched slate roof and pebbledashed walls. Cast-iron gates set to dressed limestone piers flanked by rubble limestone walls to front of site and to yard, one leading to yard of single-storey outbuildings with rendered, concrete and limestone walls and corrugated-iron roofs.

The modest form of this house is unusually elongated, the result of having been built in two separate phases. The grouping of the windows of the end bays the older section gives the house a distinctive appearance. The house retains notable features such as the timber sash windows and carved limestone door surround. The gate lodge and entrance gates further contribute to the setting of the house.
