Description
The Pantiles is a 17th-century cottage located at right angles to Back Lane in Holywell-cum-Needingworth. It is a one-storey building with attics and originally featured a three-unit plan, with a later extension of one bay added to the right side. The cottage is timber-framed and rough-cast, topped with a plain tile roof. It has a ridge stack made of local brick, a pantiled mansard roof, and a modern side stack on the right. The facade includes a modern gable window and a large semi-circular bay window, along with two 18th-century leaded light casement windows on the ground floor. There are two doors, one of which is aligned with the stack on the right. Inside, the cottage features two inglenook hearths and stop-chamfered ceiling beams. An inserted staircase and carved chimney pieces have been taken from Conington Castle in Huntingdonshire.
