The Thatched Cottage

The Thatched Cottage is a three-cottage dwelling, now combined into one, dating back to 1606. It is constructed with a timber frame, featuring rendered and colourwashed wattle and daub infill, with some sections repaired using clay lumps. The roof is thatched, and the building is arranged in an L-shape, with an outshut to the right and a cross wing to the left. The facade incorporates C18 and late 20th century casement windows. A hipped roof is topped by a ridge stack situated slightly left of the centre. A section of the west wall is constructed of rendered breeze blocks. The rear elevation has two entrances to the right and left, along with three casement windows on the ground floor and four on the first floor, all dating to the 20th century.

Inside, a fragment of a diamond mullioned window can be found in the hall. The living room features an original fireplace with English bond brickwork, beneath a bressummer with chamfer and roll and tongue stops. A similar bressummer is present in the lounge fireplace. A winder staircase is positioned by the stack. The first-floor framing incorporates bracing at the corners, and curved braces tie the beams.
