Pilgrim's Rest

Pilgrim's Rest is a house featuring unpainted render on the upper floor and a rubble stone basement. It has a slate close-eaved roof with small 20th-century end stacks. The front elevation includes a flight of ten 20th-century stone steps leading up to a central 20th-century door, flanked by large 6-pane 20th-century sashes, with a smaller 4-pane sash to the left. All these openings have 20th-century hoodmoulds. The left side of the basement has a door and a 4-pane window within a glazed 20th-century lean-to, while the right side features an original small Bath stone square light with side holes for bars, partially located under the outside stairs, along with a 4-pane 20th-century sash to the right. The end walls have two 6-pane sashes above, and there is a 4-pane window at the southern end only. The rear of the building has a slight projection to the left for a mural stair, which includes a small square stair light. There are two 20th-century 6-pane windows on the first floor, located in the center and to the right, above three 4-pane windows. The extreme left of the first floor features a fine inserted late medieval traceried window head, consisting of two cusped heads above the lights and a wheel of three mouchettes above, with two mouchettes in the spandrels.

The basement is divided into three parallel spaces, originally with low vaults, although these have been removed in the northern room. The northern room contains 20th-century stairs leading to the first floor and a long fireplace on the northern wall, which has been infilled. There is a door at the eastern end of the southern wall leading into the middle room. The middle room spans approximately 5 meters, with a small west window that is likely medieval, set in a splayed recess. A central doorway leads into the southern room, which has a rebate for closing on the southern side. The southern room contains slate dairy troughs, and in the eastern wall, there is a narrow stone mural stair leading up to the first floor, topped with a rough pointed arch. Above the stairs is the underside of another stair, which was presumably blocked when the upper storey was removed. The first floor has been completely renewed in the later 20th century and subdivided; it was originally a grain loft, and evidence of the first floor hall has been lost.
