Description
Thatched Cottage, possibly dating from the 16th century, is a timber-framed and plastered building with one storey and attics. It features a ridged, gabled roof that is thatched. The cottage has a central red brick chimney and two flat-topped dormers, each containing three small-paned casements. On the ground floor, there are three sets of matching casements, with two plain doors in between. Additionally, there is a black weatherboarded extension along the rear wall.
