Setting the Scene
Originally conceived as almshouses for the elderly, Pilgrims Cloisters was built in 1837 and today stands as a fine example of 19th architecture. The mock Tudor façade, built in London stock brick, is studded with mullioned windows and adorned with white stucco mouldings and ornaments. Octagonal embattled turrets flank the central three-bay section, and from here, a large green-painted wooden door opens to the cobbled entranceway to the central courtyard, planted with an array of tropical plants. For more information, please see the History section.
The Grand Tour
A short walk across the communal gardens and under a pointed arch, a staircase rises to the first floor of the building, where there is the entrance to this apartment. This opens to the living space, a bright room with soft whitewashed walls and broad boards of original oak flooring. A sitting area is currently arranged at one end of the room, next to a casement window fitted with panelled shutters. Light pours through the window, framing views over the lush courtyard garden below. At the other end of the room is a perfectly formed kitchen with white cabinetry. Open shelves and cupboards provide more space for storage, and there is a handy dishwasher too. There is also ample space for a dining table and chairs, and an exposed brick fireplace adds character and provides clever storage space.
A door from the living room leads to the bedroom. There is space for a double bed to sit underneath the mullioned casement window; the white-painted shutters and original iron latch are a wonderful 19th-century detail. From here, a beautifully weathered oak door with decorative cut-out details leads to the bathroom. The shower is positioned underneath a high roof light, adding a surprising sense of volume and filling the room with light.
The Great Outdoors
In the central courtyard of Pilgrims Cloisters is a communal garden, providing a place for residents to meet and lending it a lively, convivial spirit. It has been planted with a range of exotic plants, including palm trees and rhododendron. Dispersed around the garden are a myriad of benches, making it a wonderful spot for a morning coffee or simply relaxing with a book.
