Description
The Thatched Cottage is a cottage dating from the mid-16th century, with refacing from the 17th century and alterations made in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame with rendered infill and a thatched roof, topped by a central ridge stack. The building is single storey with an attic and consists of two bays, each two-panel height, supported by diagonal braces under the wall plate at the cross wall divisions. The front has two windows, with small-pane casements; the upper pair are positioned above the wall plate as swept dormers, while the lower left window has been replaced by a 20th-century casement. There is a hipped lean-to addition at the left end, which is half a bay wide and contains a boarded entrance door on the south side. It is said that there is a cruck frame within the cottage. The cottage is part of a cohesive group with Old Hall Farm and The Laurels.
