Brookside Cottage
(formerly The White Cottage)
This thached cottage has a wonderful little brook
to the rear and is located about 5 minutes by foot from Anne Hathaway's Cottage.
The building dates back to the 17th Century,
albeit there have been additions since giving it a more modern look.
The thatch is described as being a 'hipped thatched roof'.

Beautiful home!
It's adorable.
You provide a lot of information about this building. It is interesting enough to make me want to visit.
I'm happy to see that buildings like this still exist.

You can still celebrate, Lauren. I'm thankful for you!
They've got such character, these thatched houses.
Thank you all!
Petrea...you are so sweet!
It looks quite large and most interesting. Hip roofs are good - we like them in Florida 'cause they're less likely to blow off during a hurricane!
Did you cook a turkey despite being on the other side of the ocean?
