Description
The Thatched Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 16th and late 17th centuries, with an 18th-century extension to the north. The construction incorporates brick on a rubble plinth and timber framing, featuring a steep-pitched thatched roof and a shallow pantile roof. Two pairs of large 19th-century ridge stacks are present. The cottage is one and a half storeys high and has five bays. An off-centre 20th-century timber porch with a 20th-century half-glazed door is flanked by two 19th-century two-light Yorkshire sashes—the northern one featuring a segmental head—and to the south are a 20th-century single glazing bar top-hung casement and a single 20th-century three-light glazing bar casement, both with timber lintels. The south gable includes a 19th-century gabled brick porch with a 19th-century single light glazing bar casement above. The 18th-century north extension shows coursed blue lias rubble and brick construction, dentillated eaves, and a pantile roof with a single gable stack. It is a single storey with a garret, incorporating a single 19th-century single light top-hung casement, a single 19th-century two-light Yorkshire sash with segmental head, and a single 19th-century three-light Yorkshire sash in the north gable.
The interior retains substantial remains of an aisled hall or barn, with arched braces and blackened timbers. Further features include some stud partitions, a 17th-century timber staircase, and chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
An 18th-century boundary wall, constructed of coursed blue lias rubble with rubble coping, stands outside the cottage. The wall's ramped height varies from approximately 1 meter to approximately 1.5 meters.
