Description
Long Thatch is a house, likely once a pair of cottages, dating from the 18th century. It features colourwashed roughcast render over a timber frame and has a half-hipped thatched roof. The building has a four-room layout and is one storey with attics. On the ground floor, there are three 3-light casement windows, while the attic includes two eyebrow dormers with 2-light casements. All windows are 20th-century replacements with leaded lights. There is an off-centre red brick double ridge stack, and the entrance is through a 20th-century single storey addition with a clay tile roof located on the right gable end.
