Description
Thatched Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed render and a thatched roof, featuring a three-cell baffle-entry plan. The cottage is a single storey with an attic.
On the south front, there is a doorway on the right with a 20th-century plank door. To the right of the door is a single-light window, and to the left is a 2-light window leading to the roof. There is one 3-light eyebrow dormer on the right and a 2-light gabled dormer window on the left. A single-flue stack is located at the ridge, slightly left of centre. The rear has a lean-to outshut on the right, with two single-light casements on the left and another single-light casement to the left of centre. The road front is clapboarded, featuring a plank door on the right and a 3-light casement on the left.
Inside, the cottage has chamfered ceiling beams, plain joists, and close studding on the ground floor walls. There is a massive bressumer over the hearth in the sitting room, along with jowled wall posts.
