Description
Pilgrims Cottage is a 16th-century cottage that was extended around 1980. It is constructed of rubble stone with some timber-framing and features a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the west. The original stack is located at the east end of the building, and there is a 20th-century thatched cross wing. The cottage is single storey with an attic.
The south front includes a timber-framed dormer with a pair of leaded casement windows, as well as ground floor windows that are ovolo-moulded stone mullions, consisting of two-light, single-light, and two-light configurations. The original door and a three-light timber-mullion window are now part of the 20th-century extension. The west end features timber-framing in the gable and a two-light timber mullion window, while the ground floor has a two-light stone mullion window that reuses old mullion and jambs. The north front has a timber-framed gable and one two-light stone mullion window.
