Description

Little Thatch is a house that likely dates back to the 18th century. It has a plastered exterior and a hipped thatched roof, with end stacks featuring brick shafts and toothed cornices. The building has a single-depth main range, along with rear and left additions. It stands two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical front with three windows. The front features three first-floor and two ground-floor two-light casements with glazing bars. There is a 20th-century front door to the left, which is sheltered by a hipped thatched porch supported by posts. The interior has not been inspected but may contain interesting features.
