Try a google image search for "gingerbread house" (in quotes) and add the word "thatched". That will pull up some examples of what other people did. You can use a basic rectangular house pattern and just use royal icing as stucco, and shredded wheat for thatch. Use pretzel rods or other pantry items, or gingerbread pieces cut to size, to create the half timbers. Enjoy yourself, sounds like a fun project.
