Thatched Cottage

This is a late 19th and 20th century thatched cottage situated on Beredens Lane in Great Warley. The house has a cruciform plan, with a main north-south range and a centrally projecting, gabled two-storey thatched porch and a symmetrical, thatched cross-wing to the east. There are two prominent, rendered rectangular stacks with cornices rising from the roof apex, one on each side of the central porch/cross-wing. Most of the windows are original casements, featuring double octagon glazing bars with paired, cruciform connecting bars.

The west front is symmetrical with a three-window range on the ground floor. The outer bays feature canted four-light bay windows on wooden brackets with thatched, hipped roofs and casement lights in the house style. The ground floor of the porch is now fully glazed above a dwarf wall, forming a plain bay window with four central and two side lights and wooden corner posts; some jetty joists remain. A stucco band runs between the floors. The first floor has three two-light windows. The rear, east, elevation has a catslide roof extending from the central gable down to a lean-to; north of the central gable is a 20th century lean-to conservatory with a shallow, copper-sheeted hipped roof. The ground floor, south to north, windows are in the house style, including one single-light window, one two-light window, and a conservatory. The first floor has two single two-light windows. The north end elevation has a deep projecting thatched roof with prominent purlins, and the stucco band continues from the front. A 20th century doorway is set into the back wall of the conservatory, with a simple hood on brackets and upper glazing divided into 3x4 panes and a lower central panel. The south end elevation features a deep thatched gable end, and both ground and first floors have a single two-light window.

The interior has undergone some reorganization of original room divisions and does not contain distinctive features.
