Description

The Thatch is a cottage dating from the 17th or 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with plaster and has a thatched roof, which includes two gabled dormers. A central extension creates a porch over a 20th-century board door with a light. The cottage is one storey high with attics and has a four-window range of diamond leaded casements. There is a central red brick chimney stack, which is now plastered.

Local climate

The Thatch sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
