Description
Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1800, with windbreak to front (south-east) and recent extension to rear (north-west). Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash and uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door openings with replacement door. Set within own grounds.
Appraisal
The simple design of this thatched vernacular house is embellished by a windbreak, which provides the building with a central focus. The window arrangement reflects the plan of the interior with the small openings typifying the practical consideration of heat conservation that played such an important role in the design of such buildings.
