Description

The Thatched Cottage is a 17th-century house made of red brick and thatch, standing at one and a half storeys with a rear lean-to. The building is divided into a cottage and a shop. It features a mix of sash and casement windows, with two boarded doors set under segmental brick arches. There are two eyebrow dormers, and a 19th-century casement window to the right. A shallow, one and a half storey buttress with a moulded brick cap is present, along with an end stack on the left and a rebuilt, off-centre axial stack. The left-hand cottage has an open brick fireplace with a timber bressumer, hardwood ceiling joists, and stop-chamfered transverse beams on the ground floor. The cottage is included for its group value.
