Description
Thatch Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century that was restored in the mid-20th century. It features a timber-framed structure with painted brick and rendered infill, topped by a machine-tiled roof. The building consists of two framed bays oriented east to west and has an external chimney with a brick stack at the east gable end. It is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers.
The framing includes three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, short straight upper corner braces, and an exposed collar and tie-beam truss at the west gable end, supported by two raking struts to the collar and a V-strut in the apex. On the north front elevation, there are 20th-century casement windows, with two 2-light windows on the ground floor and two gabled dormers also featuring 2-light windows. To the right of the east bay, there is a timber-framed gabled porch that has a 20th-century door on the right side and a left side light. A chimney is located on the rear roof pitch of the west bay, and there are attic lights in the gable ends.
Inside, the main beams are stop-chamfered. A 20th-century addition now encloses the external chimney at the east gable end.
