Description

The Thatched Cottage is a small house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. It is built of limestone rubble with wooden lintels and features a thatched roof with rubble gable stacks. The cottage has a two-unit plan that extends to the rear and consists of one storey plus an attic. The front has three windows, which include small dormers with two, two, and one light. A central doorway is positioned between two-light casements. The right end wall features a small gable window, and there is an additional small dormer above the single-storey extension. The interior has not been inspected.
