Description
Pits Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages, dating from the early 17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a concrete-tiled roof that is hipped to the south and has a coped gable to the north with an end stack. There is also an axial stack on the roof hip. The building is two storeys high with an attic.
The east front has two hipped dormers, one on the roof slope and another at the eaves on the right. There are recessed chamfered mullion windows, including two 2-light and two 3-light windows on the first floor. On the ground floor, there are long casement windows under a catslide roof to the left, a blocked door, a buttress, and a door with a stone hood. To the right, there are two 3-light windows with hoodmoulds, one of which has a relieving arch, flanking a door with a hoodmould.
The rear of the building features similar mullion windows, with a 3-light window over a 2-light window to the left, followed by a projecting gable with ovolo-moulded windows. There is a central 3-light window with a stepped buttress to the right and a projecting gabled stair tower with another 3-light window. The ground floor to the right projects under a catslide roof and includes a door and a 3-light ovolo-moulded window.
Inside, there is a heavy beamed ceiling with six panels, a Tudor-arched door leading to the rear of the through passage, a staircase with flat balusters and scratch-moulded newels, and a first-floor cupboard with butterfly hinges.
