Thatched Cottage and the Thumb Bit

Thatched Cottage and The Thumb Bit is a house divided into two sections, dating from the early 17th century. It is timber framed and features old comb-pargetted render with a thatched roof that is hipped on the right and gabled on the left. The building is 1½ storeys high and has one internal chimney stack with a large plain shaft made of old brick, along with an end stack on the left, which is constructed of old brick laid in English Bond in the lower courses.

The front has one square-headed dormer with a 2-light casement window that includes horizontal glazing bars. To the left of the internal stack, there is a 3-light 20th-century metal casement window and a 2-light casement window with 6 panes in each light. To the right of the stack, there are a 2-light casement window and a single light casement window, both with 6-pane lights. The entrance features a half-glazed 20th-century door in a lobby-entrance position.

Inside, Thatched Cottage has only one ground floor room with plain joists set flat, and no other timber framing is visible. The Thumb Bit, located to the right of the stack, also has plain joists set flat on the ground floor and a main beam set on edge, suggesting there may have been a smoke-bay before the brick chimney was added. The current fireplace is a 20th-century addition, built forward from the face of the stack. On the upper floor, one tie-beam has been removed. The gable end shows housings for two adjacent 4-light diamond-mullioned windows. The roof is exposed with clasped purlins, and there is a single-storey red brick lean-to extending along the entire rear of the building.
