Description
Thatch Cottage is a pair of cottages dating from the late 17th century. They are timber framed and sit on a brick plinth, with rendered clay infill and a thatched roof. The cottages are one storey high with an attic. There is a door on the left side and three renewed casement windows. The roof features two dormers under the thatch, which have 20th-century casements. The roof is hipped and has a central stack. Additionally, two timber posts support the western cottage.
