"... a simple single storey brick building with slate roof, partly obscured by ivy. Probably dates from early 20th century. Housed an old fire engine built in the reign of William IV that served as Thaxted’s Fire Engine until the 1930s. The engine is now at the Windmill. Distinctive red entrance doors with words 'Engine House' painted in white lettering. " - description extracted from Thaxted Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals (2012).
