Fyling Old Hall is a historic building in Fylingthorpe, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was originally built in the mediaeval period, and was recorded in 1539 when it was leased by Whitby Abbey. In 1629, it was largely rebuilt by Hugh Cholmeley. In 1634, Cholmeley sold the house to John Hotham, and although Hotham was executed for treason in 1645, the house remained in his family into the 18th century. In the 1820s, the hall was converted into a farmhouse, with the east front being refaced, and most of the windows replaced. The building was grade II listed in 1969. The building is constructed of stone, mainly pebbledashed, on a plinth with quoins and some chamfered coping. The roof is in tile with stone copings and kneelers. The house has two storeys and attics, a main front of three bays and a stair tower with a pyramidal roof and a ball finial. The garden front has four bays, and contains a doorway with alternating block jambs, a patterned fanlight, a keystone, a frieze and a hood mould. The windows are sashes with flat heads and keystones. In the right return are mullioned windows with hood moulds, the window in the upper floor is larger with a transom, and in the attic is an oculus. There is a wall round three sides of the garden to the east with wrought iron gates. The inside has been altered, but a 17th-century fireplace survives.

Thorpe Hall is a historic building in Fylingthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was built for the Fawside family in 1680, as a rectangular building. It was extended in 1835, the new section incorporating an existing building, and extended again in 1844. The Fawsides, later known as the Farsydes, sold the property in 1956. The house featured in an episode of the television programme Coast, which discussed its role in local smuggling during the 18th century; the programme speculated that a wooden container halfway up the stairs and an underground stone chamber in the grounds were used to hide smuggled goods. In 2021, the property was put on the market for £1.5 million, at which time it had ten bedrooms, a coach house and four acres of land. The house has been grade II* listed since 1969. The house is built of sandstone with quoins, and a Welsh slate roof with stone copings, small gabled kneelers, stone ridges on the older part and tile ridges on the extensions. The original part has two parallel ranges, the 1835 extension is parallel and extended to the south with a porch, and the 1844 extension is a parallel east range linked to the porch. There are two storeys and attics, and an entrance front of three bays, with string courses, and a small central gable with a chamfered slit. In the centre is a doorway with a Tudor arched head, a chamfered surround, and a coat of arms with initials and the date. Above it is a single-light window, and the other windows on the front are double-chamfered and mullioned. Elsewhere, there are more Tudor-arched doorways and coats of arms. Inside, there is much early-20th century woodwork, including a staircase in an earlier style.
