Description
Thatched Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It originally had a three-cell plan and is two storeys high. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof featuring a red brick chimney that dates from the late 18th or early 19th century. The windows are late 20th-century casements, and there is an early 19th-century boarded entrance door. The original 17th-century framing is fully exposed and unmoulded. Inside, there are wide back-to-back open fireplaces with timber lintels and a clasped-purlin roof. Around 1800, the house was divided into two cottages, which involved moving tie-beams and partitions, and the chimney may have been rebuilt in a new position.
