Description

Thingoe Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Nether Street in Great Barton. It has one storey and attics, designed in a three-cell layout with a lobby entrance. The structure is timber-framed and faced with 19th-century random flint and brick, which is now whitewashed. The roof is covered with clay pantiles, and there is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft.

The cottage features two mid-19th-century casement windows, each with three lights, a single bar to the lights, arched heads to the frames and surrounds, and original external two-panelled shutters. A third window, also in this style, has been replaced with a late 20th-century fixed window divided into four lights. There is a large gabled dormer that includes a three-light casement window with plain bargeboards. Additionally, there is a 20th-century enclosed porch that is partly glazed.

At the rear, there is an extension that has a much shallower pitched roof, featuring a timber-framed and plastered upper storey that jetties out over a ground storey made of flint and brick.
