Description
The Old Thatch is a house dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled with an early 18th-century bay on the left side. It features roughcast over the original timber frame, with square framing visible at the rear. The house has a thatched roof and brick stacks. Originally designed as a 2-unit lobby entry plan, it was extended to a 3-unit layout in the early 18th century, resulting in a 2-storey, 3-window range. The entrance includes an 18th-century plank door set in a heavy frame. Most windows are 20th-century casements with 19th-century moulded architraves, except for one 3-light leaded casement located at the top left. The roof is half-hipped with a ridge stack.
Inside, there are early 18th-century plank doors with fittings, and one door next to the fireplace bears the graffito "John Bowle 1730." The interior also features a full set of chamfered and stopped beams on both sides. There is a painted prayer with an inscription dating around 1725 on the left side of the wall that separates the left and central rooms. The original straight flight stairs are located at the rear of the stack. The roof is not visible. There is a late 20th-century flat-roofed extension at the rear right and an attached 20th-century lean-to garage on the left.
