Description
Pittywood Farmhouse and Barn Attached is a farmhouse with an attached barn, built around 1820. The structure is made of coursed rubble sandstone and features a tiled gable-end roof. It has a two-room plan with a central entrance and stair, along with an integral storeyed barn. The outshut to the house was added a little later. The building stands two storeys high.
The exterior of the house has a regular arrangement of windows, including two large 30-pane cast-iron windows with central 4-pane casements on each floor. There is a central stone slab porch with a contemporary ledge door and a small stair light above. All principal windows have large stone sills and lintels, which are decoratively tooled. The house has two brick ridge stacks. The barn features two windows (one with a sash) and a planked door. The left-hand return to the house includes one ground-floor window (20-pane, cast iron), an end door to the outshut, and a rear outshut with a cast-iron window (without a sill or lintel) and a wooden sash. There is also a later brick corner stack.
Inside, many contemporary features remain intact and are quite simple. These include planked doors in pegged surrounds, plain and panelled cupboard doors, and plain wooden firesurrounds. The building has a king-post roof. While the exact date of construction is not known, the farm is marked on the 1851 tithe map and contains a complete set of locally manufactured cast-iron casements, which are typically found from the early part of the 19th century.
