NL 95782 46296 19th century cottage listed as having a ‘thatched piended roof’ with ‘modern gabled porch’. The roof is thatched in marram with a continous marram ridge. The entire roof has been netted with fishing net, including across the ridge, which has been weighted down with stones and thin rope just above the wallhead and around the chimney stacks and adjoining porch roof. Additional weighting has been installed on the front (east) elevation in the form of breeze blocks placed upon the ground and attached to the base of the netting by string. The thatch itself is in good condition, however, there is some grassy vegetation growth along the ridge and where the thatch meets the wallheads.
