Description

Piggotts is a semi-detached cottage dating from the late 17th century, with a rear drawing room added in the 18th century. It is constructed from dressed limestone and features a hipped thatched roof with brick stacks. The cottage is two stories high and has two windows. The entrance is through a glazed 20th-century door located in a thatched porch to the right of the center. To the left, there is a blocked doorway with a 3-light casement, and to the right, a 2-light casement. On the first floor, there are a 2-light and a 3-light casement, along with an insurance disc above the porch.

The right side of the cottage has two rendered raking buttresses, a 16-pane sash window, and a single-light ovolo-moulded casement on the ground floor. The first floor features a 2-light and a 3-light casement, with the former roofline and a straight joint between the front and rear sections visible. At the back, the drawing room has a 16-pane sash window and a 3-light casement on the first floor. Attached to the right is a single-storey former dairy with a planked door and a 16-pane sash window.

Inside, the cottage has deeply chamfered beams with stepped stops, an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel on stone jambs, planked doors, and winding stairs located in the southeast corner of the front range. The rear 18th-century drawing room features a door with six fielded panels, an Adam-style fireplace adorned with fluted pilasters and wheat-ear ornament, and flanking cupboards with fluted pilasters leading to a dentil cornice and shaped shelves.
