SY 19 NE OFFWELL OFFWELL
3/106 Thatch - GV II Cottage. Probably C18 (maybe late C17), modernised circa 1950. Partly plastered, partly colour-washed. Local stone and flint rubble; stone rubble stack topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 2-room plan cottage facing south-west and built down the hillslope. The smaller room at the left downhill (north-west) end is unheated. The right room has a large projecting gable-end stack. Now a stair rises between the 2 rooms but originally there was probably a through passage here. Secondary outshots. to rear have been brought into domestic use. Main cottage is 2 storeys. Exterior: nearly symmetrical 2-window front of circa 1980 PVC windows with rectangular leaded patterns; the first floor ones have low thatch eyebrows over. Central doorway contains a C20 plank door behind a contemporary thatch-roofed porch on rustic posts. The main roof is hipped to left and gable-ended to right. Interior: is mostly the result of C20 modernisation work. What little carpentry that is exposed is plain. The fireplace is blocked by a C20 grate but its large size is evident. Roof not exposed. Thatch forms part of a group of attractive thatch-roofed cottages with Beckside Cottage and Ropley (q.v) and Thatchcote (q.v). >
