Pyt House And Attached Front Walls

Pyt House is a detached house dating from the late 17th century. It features dressed stone walls with Ham stone dressings and strings, as well as ashlar quoins. The house has a large thatched roof with gable ends and stone gable copings, and brick stacks at the gable ends that were rebuilt in the 19th century. The building is two storeys high with attics and has four windows on the ground floor, which have hollow-chamfered stone mullions arranged in groups of four, two, two, and four lights. The first floor has three windows with stone mullions in groups of three, two, two, and three lights. The windows are fitted with iron casements that have horizontal glazing bars.

A continuous label runs along the ground floor, stepping up over the doorway, which is centrally located and features straight-chamfered jambs and a depressed-arch head. The door itself is a plank door with two lights. Inside, the house consists of three units with a large central hall. The north room contains a stone fireplace with straight-chamfered jambs and a cambered head, dating from the late 17th century. The ceiling beams are mid-chamfered with run-out stops. On the first floor, there are some plank-and-muntin partitions from the landing to the south, also from the 17th century. The hall has a flagstone floor.

In front of the house, there are attached brick sleeper walls that are stone-coped, along with 19th-century iron railings and a gateway. The return walls of the house are also brick and stone-coped.
