Description
Kestrel Pit Cottage is a house located in Kilkhampton, dating from the 18th to 19th century, with some 20th-century additions. The cottage is whitewashed and rendered, featuring a thatched roof and brick gable end chimneys. It has a single depth plan and is two stories high with a two-window front, which includes a 20th-century door. The ground floor windows are two-light casements with six panes per light, and the first-floor windows are similar. Inside, the ground floor room on the right has a large fireplace with a fireplace beam and a rear right winder stair. There is also a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey addition at the left gable end. Kestrel Pit Cottage is notable for being the only thatched building in Kilkhampton parish.
