The very fact that the thatch is protected by wire netting would indicate that the structure was originally intended as a proper dwelling for long term use; however, the brick footings and typical Victorian wall studs / lath and plaster would indicate the structure is not of Tudor origins. The use of expanded mesh certainly shows modern intervention at some period of the buildings existance. The timber work in Tudor buildings of this type was of a much more substantial construction and unless the building has been considerably altered in later years, I doubt the structure was built in Tudor times. The fact that the photographs do not show any typical Tudor timber work only reinforces my original doubts.
That's what it looks like to me too...it's got that 'staged' look about it. I don't know why but the footings look odd, and it looks far too flimsy to have withstood years of whatever the weather and time can throw at it.Probably wrong, but it looks like an old film/tv set to me.
I think its adorable, shame to see all that thatch going to waste
How old would you say the place is?
