Description
Old Thatch Inn is a public house that was likely built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from plastered cob and rubble, with stone stacks and a thatched roof. Originally, it consisted of two cottages, each with two rooms and flanking end stacks, later joined by a two-storey infill. The left-hand cottage is taller than the others and has a hipped roof on both sides, while the right end is gabled. The building has two storeys and faces north, featuring an overall seven-window front. Each former cottage has a symmetrical two-window front, with 16-pane hornless sashes on the left and 20-pane hornless sashes on the right, along with a central door that has 20th-century wooden porches beneath a gabled thatched roof. The central section has three windows on the ground floor, including a three-light casement under a 20-pane sash, flanked by two-light casements, all with glazing bars, although most are 20th-century replacements. There are five first-floor windows to the right, each with eyebrows above. The interior has been extensively modernised around 1960, with only a few remnants of original features remaining.
