The house, in 2007

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.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3]

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.[2][4]
