Description
The Thatched House is a cottage dating from the late 17th century to the 18th century, which was restored in the mid-20th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered on the sill, topped with a long straw thatched roof and a grey gault brick ridge stack. The building has one storey and an attic, with two dormers and four mid-20th century horizontal sliding sash windows. The doorway is located opposite the stack. The interior has not been seen.
