Description
Thrush Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that was refronted in the 18th century. It features a timber frame with colourwashed brick infill and a thatched roof. The building is positioned at the end of the road and is one and a half stories tall, comprising three bays. The front of the cottage has a planked door located between the central bay and the road end bay. There are three-light casement windows in the central and road end bays, while the other bays have two-light casements. The cottage also has eyebrow dormers in the central and far bay, which contain two or three-light casements. The roof is half-hipped, and there is a ridge stack situated above the door.
