Pitt Cottage

Pitt Cottage is a cottage, likely originally two cottages, probably dating from the 18th century. It's constructed from exposed local stone rubble, with stacks topped with 19th and 20th century brick, and has a thatched roof. The cottage faces south-east and has a gable end facing onto the lane. The layout is of four rooms. A gable-end stack is located at the northeast end, away from the lane. To the right of the centre is a smaller, unheated room, now the kitchen. To the left of the centre is a room with a rear lateral stack, and at the left end, another small, unheated room. A partition between the two left rooms was removed in the 20th century, uniting them. The current doorway is directly into the right-end room. Originally, it’s thought there were two two-room cottages; each consisting of one heated room and a smaller unheated room. The exterior has an irregular arrangement of four ground-floor windows and two first-floor windows, all with late 19th and 20th century casements, mostly with glazing bars. A 20th-century part-glazed door is in the front doorway, towards the right end. The roof is gable-ended. Inside, there's plain carpentry detail where exposed. The roof is not exposed. This cottage is part of a group of attractive thatch-roofed houses forming the hamlet of Street.
