Architecture, archaeology and continuing use
The three-bay cottage turns a gable to the street and has a later lean-to porch. A two-bay store nearby uses a raised wallhead over its plank doorway and small shuttered windows beneath a simple sheeted roof.
Its story
The pair belongs to Pittulie’s early nineteenth-century fishing settlement. The cottage provided compact accommodation while the detached store offered secure space for equipment, goods or other working needs.
Why it is included
Category C listing recognises a complete house-and-store relationship that helps explain how limited village plots supported both domestic and productive life.
What to notice
- A pantiled cottage roof set behind the street gable.
- Raised wallhead above the store entrance.
- Small shuttered openings in the working building.
