Description
Thatched Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is underbuilt in brick, with a plastered and whitewashed exterior. The cottage has a half hipped thatched roof with a single axial brick stack, while the rear section has a pantile roof. Originally designed in an L-shape, it is a single storey plus attics and has a four-bay front that includes two sliding sash windows and two two-light casements. The front is supported by brick buttresses. In the roof, there are two dormer windows with thatched eyebrows. Inside, the left-hand room contains a jowelled post with a chamfered and ogee stopped girder, along with an early 18th-century bolection moulded timber fireplace surround.
