Description
The Pyghtle is a house dating from the 16th century. It features a timber frame with herringbone brick infill at the front, with later brick infill that is partially colourwashed on the left gable and rear. There is a stone plinth, and the lower left corner has been rebuilt in brick. The right gable wall is made of 18th-century brick. The house has a thatched roof with a small hip on the right side and a rebuilt stack with pilasters between the right-hand bays.
The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The leaded windows include two-light windows on the ground floor to the left and right of the door, and a three-light window in the right-hand bays. On the first floor, there is a three-light window to the left, single lights in the centre and above the door, and a two-light window to the right. The entrance is a lobby entry with a 20th-century door. A Royal Exchange fire insurance plaque is located in the centre of the house. There is also a modern lean-to at the rear. Inside, the right-hand ground floor room features a moulded spine beam, and the central ground floor window has moulded mullions.
