Long Thatch

Long Thatch is a house dating back to the 17th century, with alterations likely including a 18th-century refronting. The structure is timber-framed with painted brick facades, exposing the timber frame in the right gable wall, and has a thatched roof with brick stacks. Originally built with a lobby entrance plan, it is now a single-storey building with an attic, featuring a two-window front. The central doorway has a segmental arch and a vertical boarded door. The window placement is irregular, with casement windows to the left of the doorway, a small window to the right, and a larger three-light window set under a segmental arch further to the right. A segmental-arched opening, now blocked, exists to the far left. The roof is gabled, with two dormer windows, both with casement openings and glazing bars. Modern windows are present in the gables and the left gable end wall, one of which is metal with small panes. Two ridge stacks are also present. The exposed timber-framing on the right gable shows an end post and brace with a collar- and tie-beam. The ground floor interior has small panels of square timber-framing for partition walls, and chamfered beams and joists. The rest of the interior was not inspected.
