Description

The Thatched Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage located on Duck Lane in Ludgershall. It features colourwashed render, with some areas supported by slender timber uprights and plaster infill. The roof is hipped and thatched, with a rebuilt brick chimney at the left end. The cottage is designed in an L-plan and is one storey high, comprising 3½ bays. The half-bay on the left is slightly set back and has a board door. The remaining bays have irregular paired casements, with leaded glass in the left bay and wooden frames in the right bays. There is also a board door situated between the right bays.
