Pilgrim House

Pilgrim House is a house located at the end of a row on Hope Street in Weymouth, dating from the late 18th century. It features a Portland ashlar front, with coursed and squared stonework elsewhere, and a tiled roof. The building has a symmetrical facade with a central staircase and a four-room layout, standing two storeys tall with an attic. The front has three windows, including two small hipped dormers above 12-pane sash windows set in moulded stone architraves. The central entrance consists of a six-panel flush door beneath a plain transom light, flanked by fluted pilasters and a frieze decorated with rosettes and a small cornice.

The plinth is mostly hidden by later paving, and the exterior includes alternating V-joint quoins, a moulded cornice, a rendered blocking course, a coped parapet, and saddle-back coped gables on the kneelers, although the rear slope is coped in brick. There are brick gable stacks, and the plain right gable end has two small attic lights. The rear features a small three-light flat-roofed dormer above two 12-pane sashes, with a larger central 13-pane sash window for the staircase. To the left, there is a 20th-century wing.

Inside, the house has a fine open-well dogleg staircase with a landing and winders, featuring stick balusters and Doric newels, along with a stripped handrail. A small section of balustrade returns to the top landing, and beneath the landing is the original plank and batten door. The interior has undergone significant modifications and is connected on the first floor to a late 20th-century range along Hope Street.
