Description

The Piggin is a cottage built from white painted rubble stone, featuring a slate eaves roof and a red brick stack on the left end. It is one storey with an attic and has a double fronted design. The cottage includes large 19th century eaves that break into gabled dormers, with cambered-headed windows on either side of the door. On the ground floor, there is a pair of casement windows with small panes and iron opening lights, positioned beside a cambered-headed ledged door, which is set within a late 20th century gabled oak porch. The two gabled dormers are adorned with bargeboards and finials, and they also have long casement pairs with small panes, iron opening lights, and old catches. Above the door, there is a recessed panel that has been infilled since 1983. A straight joint in the front wall indicates the connection to No 2. The right end wall is windowless and made of stone, while there is a single storey 20th century addition on the right side. The rear elevation displays exposed square panels of timber-framing with plaster infilling. Inside, the ceiling joists run on a northwest to southeast axis.
