Pitt Farmhouse

Pitt Farmhouse is a farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th century or earlier, although it was truncated in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of whitewashed plastered cob and features a thatched roof with a plain ridge, gabled at both ends. It has a projecting front lateral stack to the right of the center and a rear lateral stack to the left of the center, with a rear outshut heated by a rear outshut stack.

The layout consists of a single depth main range that is two and a half rooms wide. The center room is heated by the front lateral stack, while the left-hand room is heated by the rear lateral stack, with the entrance located in the half room at the right end. The center room is of 17th-century origin, while the flanking rooms are more difficult to date. In the early 20th century, the house originally had five rooms, with the left-hand room sharing the same roof structure as the current house but functioning as a separate cottage. Around 1920, the cottage was largely dismantled and is now used as an outbuilding; additionally, one and a half rooms at the right-hand end of the range were also dismantled. The rear outshut was added after the main range.

The front elevation is asymmetrical with four windows, curving out around the lateral stack. There is a porch at the extreme right, and the windows are C19 or early C20 casements with glazing bars. A unique feature of the front elevation and right return is the decorative patterns made from fragments of china, metal, and tiles that have been fixed to the plaster by the current owner.

Inside, the farmhouse is completely unmodernized. The principal room has a step-stopped cross beam, and the fireplace has been partly rebuilt. The left-hand room features a plastered-over cross beam.
