Pittville House

Pittville House is a villa, built between 1826 and 1827, and later converted into flats. It was likely designed by John Forbes as part of the development of the area undertaken for Joseph Pitt between 1825 and 1842. The villa is constructed of stucco over brick, with concealed roof and end stucco stacks.

The building has a double-depth plan with a central hallway and a service range to the rear, and a central breakforward. The exterior detailing includes a plinth surmounted by end Doric pilasters, a central three-quarter engaged tetrastyle Composite porch with a dentil and modillion entablature and a blocking course surmounted by end Doric pilasters to the breakforward. There is a continuous architrave, frieze and cornice over the first floor, and the second floor incorporates pilaster strips to the ends and to the ends of the breakforward, built into a crowning frieze and cornice with a low parapet and copings. The ground floor windows have tooled architraves, while the outer bays have a continuous first-floor sill band. The ground floor windows are 1/1 sashes, the first floor windows are 6/6 sashes, the attic storey windows are 3/3 sashes, and the basement windows are 10/10 sashes. All windows are in plain reveals with sills. A flight of renewed roll-edged steps leads to the central entrance, featuring double six-panel doors with an overlight and margin-lights. The interior was not inspected.
