Thatched Cottage

Thatched Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located in Chatsworth Park, within the parish of Baslow and Bubnell. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and features a thatched roof with stone-coped gables. The cottage has a two-room plan and is a single storey with an attic.

The garden elevation has two bays. On the left side, there is a doorway with a massive stone lintel and a plank door. To the right, there are two 2-light casement windows, one set in a plain chamfered surround and the other in a recessed and chamfered surround. Above, there are two windows in slight eyebrow dormers: one is a 2-light casement in a chamfered surround, and the other is a single light window with a recessed and chamfered surround. The west gable end features a similar single light window. There is a low range to the west that was formerly used as outbuildings, but it is not of special interest. The north elevation has one 2-light casement window.

Inside, the cottage boasts an inglenook fireplace with a roughly chamfered arched bressumer and a stone hearth with a massive lintel. There is a winder staircase and a two-bay single purlin roof with one raised cruck truss that crosses at the top to support the ridge piece.
