Outbuilding Immediately North Of No 48 Pitt House

This is an outbuilding, likely a service range that included a kitchen, located at the rear of No. 48, Pitt House, and is now in ruins. It probably dates from around 1700, contemporary with the remodelling of Pitt House. The walls are made of granite rubble, and the south wall facing the yard is missing some top courses. The building is now roofless and completely covered in ivy. It has a gable end to the west and is rectangular in shape, consisting of a single cell with a large stack at the west end. Originally, it was two storeys, but the first floor is now missing. The south front facing the yard features a doorway to the left, opposite a blocked rear doorway, another doorway to the right, and a window in the center on the ground floor. Inside, the west gable end has a very large fireplace with a massive square section timber lintel, but there are no ovens present. Similarly, the kitchen of Pitt House lacks ovens, and the dairy wing does not have a fireplace.
