The Thatched Cottage, formerly two houses, is an attractive Grade II listed property occupying a prime position within the village and sits within a Conservation Area.
The property dates in parts from the 17th century, with timber frame with painted brick infill, with some leaded casement windows, under a hipped thatched roof with three eyebrow dormer windows overlooking the green. Parts of the property may date from the mid-fifteenth century. There is a late twentieth-century L-shaped single-storey wing comprising the utility room, WC and garage. The cottage has fine exposed wall and ceiling timbers throughout.
The cottage is very unspoilt and will benefit from updating and new kitchen and bathroom fittings. However, the property retains all of its period charm and was rethatched in about 2020. Some windows have secondary glazing. There is a traditional inglenook fireplace in the drawing room, windows to front and rear with a front bay window and door to the back garden. The dining room is also dual aspect and has an attractive recessed fireplace and parquet floor. There is a fitted kitchen and large utility room with a door to the front garden and to the garage. There is a ground-floor bathroom.

Bedroom two with built-in clothes closet and bedroom three, with cupboard and en suite washroom with WC and basin.
