Thatched Roof Thursday #81 - Shottery Village

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'.

Grade II listed.  Here are the actual listing details:
