Few thatched roofs have survived in the Crawley area, but this mid 16th-century chocolate box two-storey cottage has one. Situated next to Brookside in the old hamlet of Tinsley Green, it may have functioned as that farm's barn before being converted into a house in its own right, despite being a century older. There is plenty of exposed timber-framing and white-painted brickwork.
