9/14 Monks Cottage and Little Thatch
GV II
House, now 2 cottages. Early C16 or earlier. Remodelled C17 and refaced. C18 and C19. Brick (End gable of Monks Cottage in C18 English bond with some burnt headers with chainage work under end gable. Little Thatch in C18 Flemish bond with some burnt headers. Monks Cottage in C19 Flemish bond). Upper floor of Monks Cottage partly in C17 timber framing. Monks Cottage has C20 tiled roof, Little Thatch is thatched. End brick stacks to each cottage. 2 storeys, irregular fenestration. Windows are mainly 5-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. Monks Cottage has a C17 canted, dormer, oriel window to the upper floor right. This is supported on a scrolled bracket and has a moulded cornice. Part-glazed plank doors, left of centre to Monks Cottage and central in Little Thatch. Internally there are C17 fireplaces with depressed 4-centred, chamfered bressummers to the north end of each cottage. Living rooms have exposed, chamfered ceiling beams and wall plates. The remains of 3, smoke-blackened true cruck trusses are exposed in various locations. The house would appear to have originated as a 4-bay open-hall house of uncertain plan in the early C16 or earlier. This would probably have been entirely of timber-frame construction. This house was then ceiled and divided into 2 separate tenements in the C17 (The central stack serving only one tenement). The cottages were then largely refaced in brick in the C18 and Monks Cottage was refaced again in the C19.
