Appraisal
This thatched house is enhanced by the scolloped thatch roof and timber sash windows. The sweeping of the thatch to each end is typical of such houses, as is the small attic window in one end wall. The positioning of the house, with its rear wall to the public road, is a feature of vernacular houses.
