6 and 8 South Street, Pilgrim House

The building at 6 and 8 South Street, known as Pilgrim House, is a three-storey rectangular structure likely dating back to the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with stucco bands and dressings, sits upon a stone plinth, and is topped with a hipped roof covered in slate.

The west elevation features a shop front on the ground floor, designed in a 19th-century style, with a plain fascia and central double doors featuring fielded panels, an overlight, and flanking panelled sections with reeded pilasters. The shop windows are divided into lights with pointed arches. Sill bands are present between the ground, first, and second floors; the ground and first floors have two bands, one broad and one narrow, while the first and second floors have a single narrow band. The first floor has a plain sash window flanked by 19th-century canted oriel windows with plain sashes, pilasters, panelled bases, deep cornices, and wrought-iron rails. The second floor windows are six-paned, unhorned sashes, with rusticated lintels and keystones, as are the central window to the first floor.

The north elevation, on Shodfriars Lane, has unhorned sash windows, including a tripartite window on the ground floor. A side entrance is framed by a wooden doorcase with plain pilasters and a cornice, and a recessed wooden door with an overlight. The east elevation has two similar moulded doorcases with cornices, one recessed, and one with a ramped access for wheelchair users beneath a modern canopy. There are four unhorned, three-over-six-paned sash windows to the second floor, aligned with some ground and first-floor windows. The first and second floor windows are set within segmental arches. The south elevation exhibits an irregular arrangement of sash windows, some horned and some unhorned, across all three floors.

The extensive cellars are largely brick built and contain substantial chamfered beams, some with run-out stops and evidence of reuse. The interior has been extensively remodeled, but retains elements of historic detail, including an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters, a plain square newel post, and a tall south-facing window between the first and second floors. Other surviving features include a ground-floor safe with double doors containing an ogee arched panel and a manufacturers brass plaque, along with cornices, deep moulded skirting boards, and six-panelled doors with deep, moulded surrounds. Much of the original roof structure remains, including rafters and a ridge piece, combined with more modern elements.
