The Thatched House

The Thatched House is a late 18th-century house that was altered in the mid-19th century. It is shown on Ordnance Survey maps as The Thatched Cottage. The house is constructed of squared coursed limestone with a thatched roof. Originally planned as two units, it is a single-storey building with an attic. The front elevation has an irregular six-window range of 20th-century leaded casement windows set beneath flat stone arches. Four eyebrow dormers, located above the main roofline, contain similar casement windows. Brick stacks are positioned at the ridge and end of the building. There is evidence of two blocked door openings, now windows, located to the left and right of the centre of the front facade. The rear elevation features a central gable and some 19th-century style casement windows under wooden lintels. A projecting wing to the right is similar in style and incorporates a 20th-century porch at the junction with the main house. Inside, traces of an open fireplace remain. It is believed that the house and a barn were originally converted into two separate dwellings in the mid-19th century.
