Three-storeyed and three-bayed hall, now farmhouse. Late C15 or early C16. Threapland Hall probably originated as a transitional type of fortified house, but was not a purely fortified residence. Threapland was a capital messuage documented in 1316 and 1392. The present building is C17. A survey of 1994 revealed a previously unknown newel stair surviving to full height, a garderobe chamber and shute, arched fireplaces and original mullioned windows. (PastScape)
