Description
Little Thatch is an 18th-century cottage, with extensions dating to the early and late 20th century. The walls are of cob, with painted brickwork to the additions. The roof is thatched, with a hipped, half-hipped and gabled shape, and also includes a slate roof to a projecting section. The north front has an irregular layout, with two storeys and one window. A lower two-storey extension, formerly a stable, is located on the east side, and an early 20th-century outshot is on the west side, featuring one storey and one window. Early 19th-century sash windows are set in exposed frames, alongside casement windows. A boarded door is set within a plain frame.
