Description
Thatchers Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with painted brick external walls and a thatched roof. The building is two storeys high and has an entrance front with three bays. There is a lean-to porchway to the left of the centre, which has a 20th-century door. On either side of the porch, there are two-light cambered headed casement windows set in brick walling that simulates timber framing. The first floor has three gabled casement dormer windows, each with two lights. A 20th-century ridge stack is located to the right of centre. The left gable end displays a queen-post truss with brick walling painted to resemble timber framing below. The rear of the cottage has six by two cells of uneven framing on the right, featuring two angle braces, while the left side has a 20th-century lean-to outshot. Inside, there is an ingle-nook fireplace in the parlour, small-framed internal partition walls, and chamfered ceiling beams.
