Description

The Thatched House is an early 19th-century cottage ornee located on the south side of Tonbridge Road in Wateringbury. The house is constructed of painted brick and features a thatched roof that extends beyond the eaves to create a covered verandah around all sides. This verandah is supported by rustic timber posts and includes a small gable in each bay. The building has two storeys and an attic with dormers. The north front has two windows and ground-floor thatched bay windows. There is a modern entrance on the west side, and a later 19th-century wing has been added to the south.
