Pitchford Park Farmhouse

Pitchford Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1774 by John Gwynn(e), an architect from Shrewsbury. The building is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic above a basement, with a dentil brick eaves cornice and parapeted gable ends. There are pairs of gabled eaves dormers on the north and south sides, each containing two-light wooden casements, and integral brick end stacks.

The north front of the farmhouse has two windows with 16-pane glazing bar sashes and painted lintels. The doorway is roughly central, featuring a door with six flush panels, a three-part rectangular overlight, and a gabled lattice wooden porch. The rear of the building has three bays with a blocked central doorway. The left-hand sash window has been altered to create French casements, and a 20th-century casement window has been inserted to the left.

Adjoining to the west is a likely later one-storey service wing, which also has an attic. This wing features two gabled eaves dormers on the south side and one on the north, along with an integral brick end stack. The north front of the service wing has a pair of boarded doors to the right with a four-part segmental-headed overlight, and a 20th-century lean-to addition to the left.

Although the interior of the farmhouse has not been inspected, it is expected to be of interest due to its architect. John Gwynn(e) is known for designing the English Bridge in Shrewsbury and Atcham Bridge, and he was a founding member of the Royal Academy as well as the author of a book on the planning of London. The farmhouse is part of a close group with a former coach house located to the east.
