Description

Pitt Farmhouse, including the adjoining store to the south-west, is a house and store that were formerly cottages and an adjoining linhay. It likely dates from the 17th century but has significant early and late 19th-century alterations. The building is constructed of plastered cob and rubble, with some sections made of brick, and features brick stacks topped with late 19th-century brick. The roof is thatched with wheat reed and is hipped at both ends.

The structure is L-shaped, with the main block facing south-east and a rear block behind the right end. The front block consists of four cells, which includes a two-room house with end stacks and a rear block to the right, as well as a two-room store and workshop to the left, which is partly open-fronted. The front has an irregular arrangement of four windows, featuring 19th and 20th-century wooden casements, most of which have glazing bars.

There are three doors to the right of the open bay: one leads to the workshop, and one to each of the domestic rooms. The left side of the house is built of late 19th-century brick, and both the door and ground floor window have segmental arch heads. The open-fronted section at the left end retains a full-height timber post from the former three-bay linhay, suggesting that the adjoining brick section of the house may have encroached into two bays of the linhay. Inside, there are plain carpentry details, including a presumably reused 17th-century scroll-stopped crossbeam in the brick-built cell and several 18th or early 19th-century plank doors. Originally, it appears that the right front room and rear block were constructed as a small farmhouse with an adjoining linhay.
