Lower Pitt Farmhouse Including Range Of Outbuildings Adjoining At Left (West) End

Lower Pitt Farmhouse is a farmhouse with attached outbuildings, likely built in the early 18th century, with an extension added at the right end in the early 19th century. The outbuildings date from the late 18th to early 19th century. The structure is made of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a slate roof that has gable ends, extending continuously over both the house and the outbuildings. The farmhouse features stone rubble stacks with brick shafts on the ridge and right gable end.

The layout of the buildings slopes from left to right, starting with stables, stalls, and a former small linhay that has been converted into a workshop at the upper end. The earlier core of the farmhouse consists of two rooms, with direct entry into the left-hand room, which was formerly a salting house, and a heated kitchen/parlour to the right. A shared stack connects to the early 19th-century two-room extension on the right end, although the internal partitions in this section have been altered in the 20th century. This addition was originally designed for separate occupation.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a five-window range, primarily featuring 20th-century two-light casements with six panes per light. There is a gabled porch with a single-storey flat-roofed extension to the right, and a plank door at the upper end to the left of a single-storey lean-to well shelter that projects at right angles to the front. At the rear, there is a former dairy outshut. The former linhay on the left has vertical boarding above plank doors, and the stalls have square loft openings above two doorways. The stable at the left end is symmetrical, with a window opening on each side of the plank door.

Inside, the farmhouse retains much of its 19th-century joinery, including ledged doors. Both hearths in the main stack contain bread ovens. The earlier core features 18th-century pegged trusses, while the extension has 19th-century trusses.
