Description
Thatch End and Wallbrook Cottage is a house that likely dates back to the 16th century but was remodeled in the late 17th to early 18th century. It features white painted heavily rendered stone and cob with a thatched roof. The front has a truncated lateral hall stack, and there are twin diagonally set rendered stacks at the right end. The building has a 3-room through-passage plan, with reused smoke-blackened roof timbers indicating a former open hall.
It is two stories high and has a four-window range of 19th-century casements, with two panes per light at the left end and eight panes per light elsewhere. At the upper end, there are two 3-light casements with six panes per light flanking a doorway that has a slated canopy. The through-passage doorway features a thatched canopy and a six-panelled door. At the lower end, there is a double 2-paned sash window. An extension at the right end has a half-hipped slate roof, and there are slated outshuts at the rear.
