Pitt Farmhouse at Sx869 928

Pitt Farmhouse is a house, formerly a farmhouse, built in 1805 with some 20th-century alterations. The building is whitewashed and rendered, likely made of cob, and features a half-hipped slate roof with end stacks that have brick shafts. The left end stack has a single-storey brick lean-to at the rear, covered with a corrugated asbestos roof. The house has a double depth plan with heated rooms on either side of a central passage, though the partition wall between the two right-hand rooms has been removed. There is also a circa early 20th-century single-storey brick lean-to at the rear for additional service rooms. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical three-bay front. A 20th-century central gabled porch supported by posts leads to a six-panel front door with glazed top panels, situated below a semi-circular recess. The windows consist of 16-pane hornless sashes on the left and right, with a 12-pane sash above the porch. Inside, there is a staircase with stick balusters and a 20th-century grate in the ground floor room on the right. This farmhouse is an attractive example of a compact early 19th-century building that is visible from the road.
