Description
Bullpits is a house that includes remnants of a former cloth mill, which is believed to date from around 1720. The house itself was built in the early 19th century. It features a combination of rubble and rendered walls, topped with a half-hipped tiled roof and brick stacks positioned at various locations. The main facade is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and three bays. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, although some have been replaced with modern casements. There is a central porch that has round-headed arches supported by Doric pilasters.
