Description
The Thatched Cottage is a house dating from around 1700, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed and plastered, featuring brick, thatched, and pantiled roofs, and has an L-shaped plan. The building is one and a half storeys tall.
On the front (east) elevation, there is a four-window range with a projecting gabled porch that has thatch covering the entire structure. The porch contains a 19th-century bead-moulded boarded door and fixed 'Gothick' lancet lights on the sides. The windows include three sliding sashes with 4x4 panes and one 20th-century casement that is similar in style. There are also two dormer 'eyebrow' windows with early 20th-century 2-light casements. A stack is present that is contemporary with the house.
To the north, there is a single-storey pantiled range from the 19th century, which was extended in the 20th century. This section has one 19th-century sliding sash window with 4x3 panes and one 20th-century segment-headed casement window. The south end elevation features the house with an early 19th-century lean-to at the rear, which has continuous thatch. The ground floor includes a 20th-century 2-light casement window and a simple rear casement. The attic floor has a 20th-century sliding sash window with 4x3 panes.
On the north end elevation, the original rear house roof rafter and wall plate are exposed, with a 19th-century lean-to roof above. The attic floor has a 20th-century 3-light casement window and fixed 'Gothick' lancet lights on each side. The rear lean-to has a 20th-century top-hung casement window. The 19th and 20th-century extension partly obscures the ground floor, and the north end features a 20th-century French window with sidelights. The rear (west) elevation is obscured by a large 20th-century addition.
The interior has not been inspected, but primary braced studding is evident, and the central stack includes two back-to-back timber lintelled fireplaces.
