Description

Pithall Cottage is a house, now functioning as a pair of houses, dating from the early 18th century or earlier. It has a timber frame and is clad with red brick on the ground floor, partly in English garden wall bond, while the first floor is weather-boarded with tile hanging on the return elevations. The roof is plain tiled. The building originally had a lobby entry plan and consists of five bays. It is two storeys high, featuring a cluster of stacks to the centre right and an additional stack on the rear wing. The first floor has five wooden casement windows, and there are four on the ground floor. There are boarded doors located on the right return and in a single-storey extension on the left return.
