Description
Thatched Cottage is a house from the early 17th century that has undergone significant alterations and renovations. It is constructed of red brick and features a steeply pitched reed-thatched roof. The building has two storeys and follows a former lobby entrance plan, although the door is now blocked. The shape of the cottage is T-shaped, with a 20th-century extension added at the north-west corner.
All the windows are 20th-century replacements, designed as standard casements with glazing bars. The east side of the cottage has a range of six windows, though their openings have been much altered. The brickwork is laid in English bond and shows traces of decorative diapering. There are three dormers with swept roofs, and an off-centre axial stack with three attached octagonal shafts set on a moulded brick base. The gables are parapeted and coped, featuring tumbling-in and a platband on the south side. An internal chimney stack is located on the north gable. To the west, there is a 1½ storey gabled wing that has a rendered chimney stack on its north side, along with a platband on the gable.
