thatched house

Reed-covered rural home

A thatched house is a dwelling with a roof made of straw, reeds, or similar dried plant material bundled and layered to shed water.

Common historically throughout Europe and still found in rural England, where thatched cottages evoke pastoral charm: They stayed in a thatched house in the Cotswolds.
