Description

East Lodge to Tingrith House, known as High Thatch, is a house that was formerly an entrance lodge to Tingrith House. It dates from the early 19th century and is designed in the cottage orné style. The building is made of colourwashed brick on the ground floor and features slender timber framing with colourwashed brick infill in the gable attics. It has a thatched roof and consists of one storey with attics. The structure is small and rectangular, with a central slightly projecting gable at both the front and rear. The main block attic overhangs to align with the projecting gables, creating verandahs that are supported by timber piers.

The windows throughout are casement style, all featuring diamond leaded lights. The northwest elevation has a projecting gable with a two-storey canted bay window topped by a thatched hood. Most other windows have pointed-arched glazing bars set within square heads, while the attic windows include smaller flanking lights. On the southeast elevation, the projecting gable has a 20th-century French window on the ground floor. The northeast gable end features a four-centred arched plank door. Decorative wavy-edged bargeboards adorn the structure, and there are two colourwashed ridge stacks with linked diagonal shafts.
