Puget's Cottage, attached to the south-west of 14 North Street

Puget’s Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with later alterations in the 18th century. It is attached to the southwest of 14 North Street. The northwest portion of the building is original, and it was heightened and extended to the southwest in the later 18th century, effectively doubling its size.

The ground and first floors of the northeast side, along with the two lower floors of the northwestern half and the lower part of the southwestern half, are built from large cobbles incorporating ironstone, and brick quoins, which include some reused 16th-century bricks, all set in lime mortar. The upper parts of these walls and the remaining sides are constructed from brick laid in English garden wall bond. The mansard roof is tiled, with brick stacks at the ends, the southern one rendered.

Originally a two-story building, potentially with attics, it likely had an entrance on the southeast side and consisted of one room on each floor, with a staircase and landing to the northwest. A further floor was later added, and it was extended to the southwest, gaining an additional room on each floor. A later entrance was created on the northeast end following the construction of surrounding buildings which blocked access from the original southeast entrance.

The southeast side features a flat-roofed dormer with a three-over-three-pane sash window at the southern end. A second-floor four-over-four-pane sash window with a cambered head and brick lintel is also present, alongside a first-floor elliptical bay that was later adapted into a canted bay with a smaller 20th-century sash window. The remainder of this side is concealed by a later building, though a further flat-roofed dormer and the curved wall at the northern end are visible behind it.

The northeast end is constructed of cobbles with ironstone, and has a brick outline around the end chimney. The original line of the mansard roof is exposed in brickwork above. A blocked doorway with a flat lintel and a blocked sash window are at ground floor level. The first floor has an early 19th-century three-over-six-pane sash window and the second-floor window is a later 19th-century sash inserted into an earlier opening.

The northwest side has cobbles to the two lower floors of the northern half and the lowest part of the southern half, but is otherwise of brick in English garden wall bond, incorporating various window openings. The shadow of a demolished building with a mansard roof is visible at the southern end. The southwest end is largely concealed behind a later building.

The first floor retains a north room with a deep moulded cornice dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, along with transverse beams, skirting boards, and wide floorboards. The staircase lobby exhibits a curved wall at the northern end, featuring similar cornices, transverse beams, moulded skirting boards, and wide floorboards, all of similar date.
