Field Visit (15 August 2014)
NO 18860 32405 Late 18th century cottage, listed as having a ‘roof thatched with corrugated iron over’. The cottage appears to have been extended to the north west and renovated, has had the corrugated iron covering removed and a new thatched roof installed since being listed. The roof is thatched in reed with a straw ridge. The ridge, and below the chimney stacks, has been scobed with hazel spars and has been netted, whilst the rest of the thatch has been left uncovered. There is an extension wing to the rear of the building, projecting west from the north end, and an additional detached building to the south end, which is connected to the main cottage by a single wall. Both of these additional buildings have been thatched in the same way as the main cottage.
