Description
Weavers Thatch is a cottage, likely built in the mid-16th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed from coursed gritstone rubble, which is painted on the front and back, and features a thatched roof with coped stone verges on the right gable end. The cottage has a three-cell plan and is one storey high with an attic. There are three-light 20th-century fixed-light windows on either side of a roughly central late 20th-century gabled stone porch, which has a late 19th-century eyebrow dormer above it. At the back, there is a stone stack behind the ridge, which has a red brick shaft and a rounded bread oven with a stone slate cap projecting from the back wall. Inside, the cottage features chamfered spine beams with heavy joists in the ground-floor rooms, an inglenook fireplace, and a dog-leg staircase on the right side of the back wall, which has carved splat balusters. There is a late 20th-century single-storey addition to the left that is not of special architectural interest.
