Thatchings

Thatchings is a small house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 20th-century alterations and an addition. It features plastered cob and rubble walls, and a thatched roof that is gabled at the right end and hipped at the left, with a gable-ended slate roof on the rear wing. The house has two brick stacks at the gable ends. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with a larger heated room on the right that has 20th-century stairs leading out of it, adjacent to an unheated room. The rear wing was added in the 1930s. The exterior is two storeys high and has a regular front with two windows, which are 20th-century leaded pane, two-light casements. There is a central gabled porch with a slate roof and a 20th-century stable-type door. Inside, the house retains 17th-century straight principal rafters with collars halved on with notched joints.
