Description
August Pitts is a house dated 1717, though it may have an earlier core. It features a timber frame with a red brick ground floor and a tile-hung first floor, topped by a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and a garret, with a cluster of stacks off-centre to the left, and a terracotta plaque inscribed with "T A 1717." On each floor, there are three-light metal casements and three-light wooden casements, along with a half casement to the left in an outshot. The central entrance is a panelled door set in a gabled porch. To the left, there is a long catslide outshot range that includes a boarded door and wooden casements. The house has two half-hipped rear wings, partially constructed in English bond brick, featuring an end stack and a second stack in a single-storey extension to the rear left. Inside, large scantling chamfered beams are exposed. Attached to the rear left is a length of red brick wall about 3 feet high, extending approximately 20 metres from the house. A low brick wall projects from the left end and sweeps in front of the house for about 30 metres, featuring simple spurt-headed rails and a central single-leaf iron gate, with the wall ending to the right at a low capped pier.
