Scope and Content According to the website advertising the building, the cottage was built in the 1920s and in 1995 was renovated for use as holiday accomodation. The marram thatched roof of the cottage has a continuous marram ridge, and the entire roof has been netted with a large gauge netting. The netting is weighted along the eaves with stones and bricks tied to the netting with string. The string of stones is continued around the chimney stacks at either gable end. There are a few small patches of mossy vegetation growth on the surface of the thatch, however, this is not extensive.
