Description

The Thatch is an L-shaped thatched cottage dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The southwest wing is roughcast, likely over cob, and has one storey. The northeastern cross wing is more prominent, built of painted brick with a 19th-century facade featuring a scalloped bargeboard and two storeys. There is a brick dripstone mould above the first-floor window, and the cottage has a total of three casement windows.
