I’ve always wondered about how they thatch those dormers. I’ll be interested to see how you do it, too, @TheOnlyAaron.
How many years of thatch do you suppose it on that roof?
I can help you here, Dave. If that’s in the UK, it will be one of three types of thatch. It’s not Norfolk Reed as that has a much more clipped appearance. It might be longstraw but I reckon it is more likely combed wheat straw, common in the south west.
When you rethatch a roof, you don’t normally take it all off and it is possible that the base layer is original. It’s difficult to know how old the cottage is. It looks old but not very (the windows in the gable don’t look right for very old). It’s what we in the UK would call “chocolate box” style and may well be 19th century.
Now someone will tell me I’m completely wrong!

Hey Aaron, how do I join this event?

Just swing by your preferred platform the day and time in the original post. We usually start the stream a few minutes before, to give epistle time to sign in.

An un-typical English thatched country cottage. Lots of detailing not normally found on farm workers homes.
