Description

Pit House is a building from the late 17th century, with alterations from the early and late 19th century. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring four windows. The house has a steeply-pitched half-hipped tile roof, with tile-hung gables. The walls are made of red brick in an irregular Flemish bond, with a first-floor band, cambered ground-floor openings, and a plinth. The windows have mullion and transom frames, with the lower lights fitted with Gothic cast-iron casements.

At the front, there is an open timber-framed porch on a base wall, topped with a tile roof, which encloses an old solid-framed doorway that includes a narrow fanlight. The oak door features two large panels with moulded surrounds in a baroque style. Attached at right angles to the south end of the house is a single-storeyed wing from the last period, which has a tiled roof with ornamental bargeboard at the front and red brick walls in Flemish bond with blue headers.
