Thatched Cottage

Thatched Cottage is a small house, likely built in the early 18th century. It features painted slatestone rubble and cob walls topped with a wheatreed thatched roof. A large external stone stack with a brick chimney is located on the right gable, while the left gable end is adjacent to a building site. The house has a two-room plan and includes a single-storey extension on the right side and rear. It stands at two storeys with a nearly symmetrical south front that has two windows. The central doorway is fitted with a top-glazed 20th-century door and is framed by shallow buttress piers that create a porch with a slate lean-to roof. The ground floor windows are wider and feature 4-pane, 2-light casements with wooden lintels. The first-floor openings have been heightened under thatch eyebrows and contain 4-pane, 20th-century windows. Although the interior has been largely renewed, a splayed fireplace with a bread oven remains. The roof structure has not been inspected.
