Description
Pitt Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been significantly altered, likely in the 19th century. It features rubble walls that are rendered at the rear, with two tall rubble stacks—one at the left gable end and a lateral stack at the front, both having drip courses. The house has a slate roof, while the attached barn has a corrugated iron roof and is gabled at either end. The original layout was probably a three-room and through/cross passage plan, possibly with a screens passage, including a front lateral fireplace in the hall and an inner room heated by the gable end stack. At some point, the right-hand lower end was converted into a barn.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window front. The first floor features mid-20th century metal frame casements with one and two lights, while the ground floor has two late 20th century wooden casements with diamond 'leaded' panes—three lights on the left and two lights in the centre. There is a 20th century concrete and glazed lean-to porch to the right of centre, and to its right is a plank door leading to the barn.
Inside, the hall fireplace has a chamfered, slightly cambered wooden lintel with hollow step stops, and there is a chamfered cross beam with a bar and hollow step stops. At the lower end of the hall, another beam has had a wall inserted beneath it, and a similar alteration is noted at the lower side of the passage, suggesting that there were originally screens in these locations. In the barn below the passage, the dividing wall is made of cement blocks. The barn contains three heavy cross beams that are roughly chamfered, one of which rests on a chamfered wooden corbel at the front.
