The Thatched Cottage

The Thatched Cottage is a cottage dating from the 17th century or earlier. It has a timber frame with a brick facade and weather boarded returns, topped with a hipped thatched roof. There are external red brick chimney stacks on both the right and left sides. The cottage features an outshot on the left return and has one storey with attics, including one eyebrow dormer. The front has a range of four small paned vertically sliding sash windows with moulded surrounds. The left side has a 20th-century boarded door, and there are garage doors leading to the outshot. Inside, there is a substantial frame with stop-chamfered bridging joists and flat section ceiling beams, with the top plate visible. The roof is supported by side purlins, and there is a back-to-back fireplace that is now blocked with a 20th-century fireplace. The internal doors are vertically boarded.
