Description
The Thatched Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century that has been altered. It is constructed of red and vitreous brick, along with flint, and features a thatched roof that is half-hipped on the right side, topped with a central brick chimney that is partly rendered. The building has one and a half storeys and consists of two bays. The ground floor has three-light leaded casements with segmental heads, and there is a similar casement in a gabled eaves-line dormer on the left. A 20th-century paired leaded casement is located in a central blocked doorway, while a 20th-century door can be found to the left in a converted weather-board outbuilding, which has a beam dated 1813.
