Description
Pitt House is a house located in Wellesbourne, built in the mid-18th century with alterations made around 1830. It is constructed of brick with a stucco front and ashlar dressings, topped with a hipped roof covered in renewed tiles and featuring two brick stacks on the returns. The house follows a Georgian style with a central staircase plan.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window arrangement. It features rusticated quoin strips, a top frieze, and a cornice. The entrance is framed by an architrave with a key block, and includes an inset segmental fanlight with decorative glazing bars above a six-fielded-panel door, along with a later Tuscan porch. The windows have sills and are fitted with 2/2 sashes. The right return of the house shows exposed brick in Flemish stretcher bond, while the rear has gables with end stacks. There is a 19th-century two-storey brick wing with a large lateral stack and a slate roof, as well as a taller 20th-century flat-roofed addition. The interior has not been inspected.
