The Thatch

The Thatch is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It consists of two ranges: the left range features rectangular timber framing with colourwashed brick infill, while the right range has more irregular framing and an 18th-century ground-floor wall made of flint rubble with brick dressings. The house has a gabled thatch roof, with an old tile valley at the junction of the right wing and a large central brick stack, which includes an old tile roof over a front bread oven. There are also 17th-century ridge and 18th-century left end stacks. The building is L-shaped with the right wing.

It is one storey and has an attic. The left range has a three-window layout, featuring a 20th-century porch and door, along with late 19th-century ground-floor and half-dormer casements. The right wing has a two-storey gabled front with a late 19th-century two-light casement above a 20th-century casement. The right side wall displays a fire insurance plaque and has first-floor two-light horizontal sliding sashes. Inside, the right service wing contains quartered beams and an open fireplace. The centre and left sections have chamfered beams with jewel stops. The roof features queen-post construction.
