The Thatched Cottage

The Thatched Cottage is a house and adjoining cottage, now combined into one dwelling, dating back to the 17th century with substantial remodelling in the 18th century and an extension built around 1911. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings. The original section features a dry slate roof and a granite stack on the left gable. The later extension has a thatched, half-hipped roof and granite stacks on both side walls.

The original house follows a two-room plan, initially containing a hall and kitchen on the left and a parlour on the right, with a single-storey outshut added to the rear in the 18th or 19th century. The 1911 extension has a deeper plan and incorporates reused materials from a demolished 17th-century house that previously occupied the site. The original layout included two front rooms, now combined into one large room, flanking a central entrance hall, which leads to a stair hall between service rooms towards the rear.

The southwest front has five windows. The left side, representing the original section, retains two windows and a central doorway with an early 20th-century door. There are four-pane horned sash windows on the left and four-pane casement windows on the right, likely set within 18th-century openings. A chamfered window opening from the 17th century is visible on the left end, and another is located at the rear. The extension presents a nearly symmetrical three-window facade, with a central, chamfered doorway sheltered by an open-fronted thatched porch dating to the early 20th century. The ground floor features two-light mullioned windows, while the first floor includes two wide, arched, three-light windows beneath the thatch eyebrows and a small window between them. Original doors and casements with glazing bars are present. Some reused 17th-century masonry is incorporated, likely from the house demolished to make way for the 1911 extension.

Inside, a large, chamfered fireplace from the 17th century remains at the left-hand end, with the right-hand jamb rebuilt and a domed granite bread oven inserted in the 18th century. Other visible interior features appear to be from the 19th or 20th centuries.
