Slate Pits Farmhouse

Slate Pits Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that underwent some alterations in the 18th century. It is constructed from rubble with a stone slate roof and features two ridge chimney stacks. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with a rear outshut (dairy) attached to the second bay, and the third bay was extended forward in the 18th century to create a cottage.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a large lean-to porch at the junction of the first and second bays. This porch includes quoins, a moulded doorcase with a Tudor-arched head, and a small chamfered window on its right side. Above the porch, there is a similar window beneath the eaves. The building is adorned with seven double-chamfered stone mullion windows: on the front, to the left of the porch, there is a five-light window with a hoodmould, and on the first floor, there are two four-light windows; on the left return wall at the first floor, there is a two-light window with a hoodmould; at the right end, there is one three-light window on each floor, with the lower one missing a mullion and the upper one featuring small square lights; and in the side of the outshut, there is a two-light window.

The front of the cottage in the third bay has a door on the right side, a three-light flush mullion window at the ground floor, and a similar but smaller two-light window above. Inside, the farmhouse has beams set on edge, partly exposed roof trusses on the first floor, and part of a moulded plaster frieze with gryphons located on the first floor of the first bay.
