The Pightle

The Pightle is a house dating from the 17th century, with a 19th-century outbuilding attached. It is constructed of witchert on a rubble plinth, rendered and colourwashed, and features a thatched roof with half-hipped timber-framed gables. The building consists of three bays and is 1½ storeys high. There is a board door located in the left bay, and the house has irregular casements, including two in blocked doors that were added when the house was converted into labourer's cottages in the 18th or 19th century. One of the original 17th-century doors, which formed a lobby entry plan type, is located in front of the stack. The house also has two 2-light eaves dormers.

The left gable has a stack, while a 17th-century stack is positioned between the right-hand bays, both featuring keeled pilaster strips. The left and right half gables are timber framed, with herringbone brick infill on the right gable and one panel of the left, while the other panels are plain brick. At the rear, there are thatched outshots to the outer bays, designed as catslide roofs. The centre bay has a 2-light leaded casement window behind the stack, and similar windows are found in the closet in front of the stack.

Inside, the house features inglenook fireplaces, and the first-floor right-hand room has a 4-centred chamfered and stopped fireplace lintel. Curved purlin braces are exposed, along with chamfered and stopped spine beams, timber frame partitions, and trusses. There is a tiled link to the outbuilding that fronts the road, which is also constructed of witchert, colourwashed and rendered, with a thatched roof, casements, and a stack on the right. The outbuilding is reputed to have been used as a non-conformist chapel and has a pantiled roof.
