Description
The Thatched Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, with a 20th-century extension. It features a timber frame that is plastered and weatherboarded, topped with a thatched roof. The building has four bays facing north, with a stack located in the second bay from the left against the rear wall. There is a flat-roofed single-storey extension added to the rear of the left bay, along with a lean-to garage beyond that is roofed with corrugated iron. The cottage is one storey high with attics and includes three 20th-century casements and one additional casement in a gabled dormer. The entrance has a flush four-panel door. Inside, there are chamfered transverse and axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, posts with half-height jowls, and plain joists of vertical section, along with primary straight bracing. The floor in the left bay is modern, and this bay may be an extension of the original structure.
