Thatched Cottage

Thatched Cottage is a building that consists of two houses now combined into one. It dates from the 17th century or earlier, while the southern part is from the 18th century or early 19th century. The structure features a timber frame with a weatherboarded front and a roughcast northern end, which has a weatherboarded apron. The steep hipped thatched roof extends over the smaller southern house, which is constructed of red brick and flint and has a half-hipped southern end. The cottage is one and a half storeys high, facing east and set back from the road. It has three large gabled thatched front dormers and one at the northern end, with additional dormers at the rear. The older section of the cottage appears to have a three-unit, central-chimney, lobby-entry plan. The smaller southern house features a door, a window on the right-hand side, and a chimney adjacent to the house. This section has a boarded door, a casement window on the left-hand side, and two on the right-hand side. The windows are small-paned cast iron flush casements, with the northern window having been replaced in wood. There is also a pantiled weatherboarded outhouse located at the northwest.
