Description
The Thatched Cottage and attached wall is a house dating from the late 16th century to the 17th century. It features a timber frame with render over panel infill, along with two later brick bays on the left side. The roof is thatched. The building consists of three principal bays of timber framing in boxframe construction, with some intermediate posts and rails, although some of these are now interrupted. There is some arch bracing and a sill beam on a plinth. The cottage has renewed three-light casement windows, with two on each floor, and an axial stack. The two bays on the left include an inner door and casement windows with two and three lights. There is a stack at the junction of the two parts of the building. To the right of the house, there is a length of brick wall with blue headers on a stone plinth, which incorporates a round-headed date stone from 1730, featuring the initials P over SM.
