Description
The Thatched House is a pair of cottages that have been combined into one dwelling, dating from the mid-18th century. The structure features a mix of timber framing, flint, and rendered brick, topped with thatched roofs. It is one storey high with a dormer attic. The ground floor has renewed casement windows in their original openings, with the eastern cottage showcasing painted segmental brick arches. There is a buttress located to the left of the centre. The building has four gabled dormers with bargeboards and corrugated tiles, each containing casements. The roofs are gabled, with the eastern side being higher. A central and an internal west gable stack are present. Additionally, there is a late 18th-century brick outshut at the eastern front, and a thatched gabled outbuilding adjoins the eastern wall.
