Description

Old Thatch is a cottage dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of rendered cob on a brick plinth and features a thatched roof. The building is one and a half storeys high and has three bays. There is a plank door located under a swept-down thatch porch to the right of the centre. In the centre and left-hand bay, there are two-light 19th-century casement windows, with a similar window above in an eyebrow dormer. The roof is half-hipped, and there is a ridge stack made of newer bricks to the left of the centre.
