Description
The Thatched Cottage is a 19th-century building, constructed around 1840, intended as a lodge for Laleham Park. This one and a half-storey cottage features a simplified stucco design in the "cottage orne" style. It has a half-hipped thatched roof with central yellow terra cotta chimneys that are adorned with tracery panels. The cottage showcases scalloped bargeboards and includes a lean-to structure on the ground floor, which is thatched and supported by posts. There are two windows with cast-iron intersecting glazing patterns, and a central break for a ledged door. A catslide roof extends to the rear of the building.
