Modern Housing built by 1967 maps which, where it joins Towngate, has replaced earlier vernacular housing. The developments are situated within earlier crofts which are aligned at right angles to the main road. This is part of the Medieval plan form of the village with plots running east and west off Towngate. The date when Thurlstone went from a cluster of farmstead to a planned village is uncertain but was probably within the medieval period. It appears that boundary hedges from the earlier landscape have been reused in the later development giving partial legibility of the crofts.
