The Thatched Cottage - May 2016

Whilst having a few days away with family I managed to squeeze in a few locations. This one I spotted on the way home. This was a very quick stop as everyone was hungry and wanted to get home, it also helps having an understanding misses. I sadly do not no anything about this but looks like someone squatted in there for a while.

On with the photos

One of two or three in the 'Thatched' world I think, where various monies were used to reroof and make weather proof and then legal nasties raised their heads.

I was thinking the same, it does have a decent thatch, I thought it may have been in better condition inside. There was areas of rotten floors and a few of the stair treads almost gave way.

Nice find, Glad you could get in.

Nice find,Thanks for sharing.

That's a not bad looking cottage, only snag is that the windows seem to be too small making the inside a bit dark. But as quoted that thatch does look new. Maybe someone started a renovation but ran out of money.

cheers for all the comments

Maybe it's stll in the process of renovation, first thing would be the roof and that ornate thatch cost a few bob, thatched cottages have a unique smell to them when the thatch is in good nick, I'm glad you stopped jsp and I hope your missus wasn't too angry, Thanks

Now that is a really nice find, good work
