Description
Thatch Cottage is a 17th-century cottage featuring square-panelled timber framing with rendered infill, set on a coursed squared and dressed limestone plinth. The gable ends and the south wall are also made of coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a cedar shingle roof. The cottage has a rectangular plan and is one and a half storeys high. The front facing the road has two small 20th-century single-light top-opening steel casements, and there is a 19th-century plank door on the far left. The west-facing gable end includes a two-light steel casement and a single-light casement with a plastic frame on the ground floor, as well as single-light and two-light casements with plastic frames on the first floor. The east gable end also has single-light and two-light casements with plastic frames. There is an axial stack. The interior has not been inspected. Although it was formerly thatched, the name Thatch Cottage is now misleading. An extension was added in 1984, but it is not of special interest.
