Description
Old Thatch is a house located in Temple Grafton, dating from the 17th century with later alterations. It features a timber frame with plaster and brick infill, which is colourwashed, set on a high painted lias rubble plinth, with some weatherboarding on the left side. The building has a steeply pitched hipped thatch roof with a brick stack at one end.
The exterior is a single storey with an attic and has a two-window range. It includes both small and large windows with small-paned casements. The left side has a small outshut beneath a catslide roof, with some weatherboarding at the front. The right side features an outshut under a hipped roof, which contains two windows on the ground floor and a triangular window on the first floor to the right of the stack.
At the rear, there is an entrance with a hipped canopy and a plank door set in a moulded frame, along with a dormer above that has a two-light casement with an iron opening casement. There is also a window with a 20th-century casement at the right end. The interior has not been inspected.
