Description

Thatched Cottage is a house dating from the 17th to early 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. The rear wall is timber framed with brick infill set on a rubble stone plinth, featuring a central bay supported by large, roughly curved braces and a rubble stone chimney stack to the right. The right gable is partly constructed of rubble stone. The front of the cottage was rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick, decorated with crosses and diamonds in blue headers. The cottage has a thatched roof and a brick chimney located to the left of each bay. It is one storey and has an attic, with three bays. The ground floor features paired 20th-century casement windows with segmental heads, and a 20th-century two-light window in the center of the thatch. There are two intermediate board doors set in gabled porches with depressed brick arches, and a 20th-century lean-to on the left.
