Description

The Thatched Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed of flint with brick dressings and topped with a thatched roof. It stands two storeys high and features two doors that are separated by a timber lean-to. To the left of the doors, there is a leaded casement window, and another leaded casement is located at the first floor to the right. The other windows are 20th-century replacements in reduced openings. The gabled roof has tumbling in the gable heads and includes internal gable end stacks.
