Description
Old Thatch is a cottage dating from the late 17th century to the early 18th century. It is timber framed with a thatched roof and has one and a half storeys, consisting of two bays. The ground floor is rendered over brick, while the upper floor features thin timbering that likely imitates the genuine timberwork beneath. There is a doorway on the left side, followed by two 3-light casement windows on each floor. A central stack is present, and the right-hand gable is coped and corbelled out.
