Thatch Farmhouse

Thatch Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, constructed in two phases. It is built of coursed ironstone and limestone rubble with thatched roofs, and has brick chimneys. The house is arranged in an L-shape. The front wing has two bays with wooden casement windows, featuring horizontal glazing bars and wooden lintels. The ground floor has a two-light window to the left and a three-light window to the right, while the upper floor has windows divided into three narrow lights. Chimneys are positioned on either side of the front wing, the right one having a tapering shaft. A narrow extension with a 20th-century tile roof adjoins the front wing to the left. The rear wing has two bays of casement windows of varying sizes, with upper-floor windows set within thatched eyebrows. A cambered stone arch frames the off-centre door on the right side. Chimneys are located on the right gable and in the centre of the rear wing. There are 20th-century single-storey and lean-to extensions to the rear. Inside the rear wing are large fireplaces, a winder staircase, and steps leading to a cellar within an internal porch. The porch contains re-used pieces of 17th-century moulded oak panelling with an old oak board door. The interior of the front wing has been altered, but a stud partition remains between the upper rooms.
