Description
The Thatched Tavern Public House is a house that has been converted into a public house, likely dating from the 18th century or earlier, with significant alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of plastered cob and stone, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped over the right end of the main block.
The layout features a one-room plan at the right-hand end of the main block, with a rear wing that is positioned at right angles. The left end of the house has been rebuilt as a set-back single-storey block. The exterior includes one- and two-storey elements. The main block has a projecting 20th-century porch with a thatched roof, flanked by 20th-century windows that have diamond leaded panes. The eaves of the thatch are eyebrowed over the central first-floor window. There is a stub of the front wall at the left end. The single-storey wing to the left is set back and features a central entrance with 20th-century windows on either side.
The interior has been thoroughly altered for its current use, and the roof was not seen during the survey, which may hold some interest.
