Description

The Thatched Cottage is a house that originally incorporated a pair of cottages, likely built in the 17th century and remodeled in the 18th to 19th centuries. It also includes a former outbuilding from the 18th century. The structure is made of brick and features half-hipped thatch roofs. The cottages display red and white chequer brick on the first floor and are one and a half storeys tall with two bays. The windows are three-light leaded casements, with those on the first floor located beneath a single thatch eyebrow. There is a boarded door on the right, which has a 20th-century tiled lean-to hood supported by wrought iron brackets, and a blocked doorway on the left. All ground floor openings have segmental heads. The former outbuilding has irregular timber framing on the inside and includes one truss with curved raking struts. It is one storey and has an attic, with two bays, the one on the right gabled to the street. The outbuilding features irregular 20th-century leaded casements.
