Pightel Cottage

Pightel Cottage is a cottage that dates from the late 17th century and was enlarged in the late 19th century, with modernizations made around 1980. The cottage has plastered walls, with a brick front and possibly cob elsewhere. It features brick or stone rubble stacks topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and a slate roof that was originally thatched. The cottage has a three-room plan facing east, with the right (northern) end room being the late 19th-century extension, indicating that the original structure had a two-room plan. There is a left end stack and an axial stack between the central and right rooms. The building has two storeys and an irregular three-window front. The right windows are 20th-century casements, while the central windows are late 17th-century oak frames with chamfered mullions, including a low segmental arch over the lower window. At the left end, there is a 19th-century casement with rectangular panes of leaded glass above a 20th-century French window. The main doorway is located to the right of centre and is set within a 20th-century porch. The roof is gable-ended. The interior was not available for inspection during the survey, but original carpentry is suspected to be present.
