Fittontown Farmhouse

Fittontown Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1631, with changes made in the early 19th century and roof alterations in the 20th century. It is built of red and purple brick in English garden wall bond, with a buff sandstone plinth and quoins, and features a Welsh slate roof and a central brick chimney. The building has a square plan and a front porch. The symmetrical two-storey front has three bays, with a cyma-moulded band at the first floor. The end bays contain large three-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows with glazing bars, where the central part can slide horizontally or be hinged, all set under cambered brick heads with segmental arches above. The central projecting porch was originally two-storey with a gabled roof but has since been reduced to a raking roof. The porch features a chamfered wooden doorcase with a later framed and boarded door that has original strap hinges. Above the door is a datestone, which is broken but reads "R 1631." Inside, the farmhouse has an unusual plan around a central stack with a baffle entry behind the door, bead-moulded ceiling beams, and a three-board door with long fishtail strap hinges.
