The Thatched Cottage

The Thatched Cottage is a historic house in Carlton Husthwaite, a village in North Yorkshire in England. The building was constructed as a timber-framed open hall house, probably in the 16th century. The prominent wall studs were added later, nailed onto the original frame. The building was Grade II* listed in 1960. However, it was altered in about 1968, when the through passage and rear aisle was removed, and a large single-storey extension was added at the rear left. The exposed timber frame at the rear was then infilled with brick. The house was rethatched with water reed in 2000. In 2018, it was put up for sale for £995,000, at which time, it had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, drawing room, dining room, garden room, and study. The house is timber framed on a stone plinth, with close studding on the front, brick infill at the rear, and a hipped thatched roof. It has two storeys and is three-and-a-half bays wide. On the front are a doorway, one three-light window, and two two-light windows.

The church is built of sandstone with gritstone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a single-light west window with a hood mould, clock faces, single-light bell openings with chamfered surrounds and ogee heads, and a pyramidal roof with a weathervane. The doorway has a round-arched head with impost capitals, a moulded arris, and a hood mould. The windows on the side of the church have two ogee-headed lights and hood moulds, and the east window has three lights, the middle one taller, in a segmental-arched opening with imposts, a keystone and a hood mould. Inside, many of the furnishings are 17th century, including stalls and benches, a reading desk inscribed "PRAISE THE LORD O IERVSALEM", the pulpit and its tester, which is inscribed "FEED MY LAMBES" and "1678".
