Pittaford Farmhouse

Pittaford Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with significant remodelling in the early 19th century and modernisations in the 20th. The farmhouse is built of rendered stone rubble, with an asbestos tile roof featuring gabled ends. Rendered axial and gable end stacks are present, the end stacks featuring short brick shafts.

Originally, the house comprised two rooms and a through passage, with each room heated by a gable end stack; the western room is larger. A two-storey porch dominates the north front, incorporating a dressed slate round arch doorway, a 20th-century plank door, and a 20th-century window above. The apex of the porch's gable is pierced with shapes resembling harshoes and Catherine-wheels. Short outshuts flank the porch, with one on the left potentially being integral or added in the later 17th century – both have 20th-century windows. A third room, added in the late 18th or early 19th century to the west end of the main range, has a gable end stack and a blocked loft doorway on its south front.

Around the early 19th century, the house was remodelled, reorientating the rear (south) elevation to become the front. An outshut was added to the north (now the rear), the passage was widened to create a stairhall, and a single-storey wing was added to the southwest end of the new south front.

The south elevation, now the front, is symmetrical with three windows. It features two 20th-century replacement sashes on the first floor (the central window being a two-light sash), and 20th-century casements without glazing bars in the ground floor and first floor left-hand windows; a 20th-century three-light casement with glazing bars occupies the ground floor right-hand window. A 19th-century flush panel door with a glazed top panel sits within a gabled porch to the right of centre.

Inside, there are some early 19th-century joinery elements. The larger western room has a fireplace with a high-set cambered timber lintel, which is slightly chamfered. The partition on the higher side of the passage has been rebuilt. The passage was widened to form a stairhall, containing an early to mid-19th century staircase with a column newel, moulded balusters, and a moulded handrail. The blocked lower end fireplace retains a chamfered wooden lintel. The doorway into the possible integral outshut on the east side of the porch has an ovolo moulded square-headed wooden frame with run-out stops. The roof is a 19th or 20th century softwood structure with pegged and nailed collars.
