4/167 Nos 3 and 4 The Thatched Cottage
28.9.78 GV II
Two adjoining houses. Possibly C17, remodelled and extended in the C18. Painted rubble with some cob, slate sills, timber or granite lintels. Wheat-reed thatched roof with brick chimneys over gable ends and party wall; the left hand gable adjoins a C19 cottage and the right hand gable end has large external rubble breast with single storey scantle slate roofed and gable ended building adjoining. Plan: Possibly the left hand house was originally a 3-room and through or cross passage plan with inner room left, hall, passage and lower end room, right, but converted to 2 small houses circa late C18 and possibly heightened (there is a 2 feet approx. course of cob under the eaves), now again 1 house but with the right hand, probably original doorway blocked. The right hand house, probably C18, has parlour, left, and kitchen, right with passage between. A small outhouse, now probably communicating with house adjoins at the right hand side. Two storeys. Overall 5 window range. The original house, left, has irregular 3 window front with smaller middle window probably inserted when the eaves were heightened circa late C18. This window, and the larger one below have circa late C18 2-light casements with horizontal wooden glazing bars and some original leaded panes between. The original doorway to the right of this is partly blocked, circa early C20, and has 4-pane 2-light casement. The present doorway with circa early C20 gabled wooden porch is between ground floor left hand windows and middle window. The far right hand window opening is wider with circa early C20 2-light casement. The ground floor left and 1st floor left and right hand windows are circa early C19 16- pane hornless sashes. The C18 house right, has nearly symmetrical 2 window front with central doorway and 1st floor windows closer spaced. C20 door within C20 glazed porch. A possibly original 12-pane horizontal sliding sash survives to ground floor left, otherwise windows are later casements. Interiors not inspected but any surviving old internal features may help to resolve the chronology of the building. This is an unspoilt picturesque group overlooking the village green with cross. The leaded windows are a feature found in a few other houses in the Lizard area.
