Description
Thatch Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of rendered brick and clunch, topped with a hipped thatched roof and featuring a brick stack. The building has a lobby entry and is two storeys high with a two-window front. The central entrance consists of a planked door set within a 19th-century latticed porch, with a two-light wooden casement window on either side. On the first floor, there are two additional two-light casements. To the left, there is a lean-to made of brick and weatherboarding, which has a planked door and a pantiled roof. The left side of the building features light timber-framing with brick nogging, although the gable is now hidden by a weatherboarded extension. At the rear, there is an early 20th-century glazed verandah with a planked door, which is part of an outshut under the thatch. Inside, the cottage has blocked fireplaces.
