Description

Pilgrims Cottages is a house dating from the late 16th century, with a late 19th-century addition. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor rendered and the first floor tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high on a rendered stone plinth, featuring a continuous jetty. The roof is hipped to the right, and there is a projecting stack on the left gable end, which is rendered below and made of buff brick above. Towards the right end, there is a multiple brick ridge stack. The windows are irregularly arranged, consisting of three 2-light casements. To the left of the stack, there is a 20th-century boarded door and a 20th-century date plaque indicating the year 1580 on the jetty. The later 19th-century two-storey addition on the right has a red brick ground floor and tile-hung upper floor, topped with a plain tile roof. This addition features a small red brick stack, a gabled cross-window, and a half-glazed door. The interior has not been inspected.
