Description
Thatched Cottage is a 17th-century house located on the north side of The Street in Sternfield. It is timber framed and plastered, with brickwork at the eaves level and a thatched roof. The cottage is a single storey with an attic and features a three-window range with casements, some of which have small panes. The doorway is asymmetrical, with a boarded door and a simple gabled timber porch. There is one eyebrow dormer, along with one internal stack and one external stack on the south gable. A mid-20th century flat-roofed extension has been added to the rear.
