Bittleford Farmhouse, Including Shippon At Left Hand End

Bittleford Farmhouse, which includes a shippon at the left-hand end, is a farmhouse that may have originally been a longhouse. It likely dates from the 17th century or earlier, with a porch added in 1705. The shippon end was rebuilt in the late 19th century or early 20th century. The building is constructed of granite rubble, with the house part covered in roughcast. The house has an asbestos slate roof, while the shippon has a roof of real slates. There are two large chimneystacks on the ridge, also covered in roughcast; the left-hand stack, which probably backs onto a through-passage, features stone weatherings. The layout appears to include four domestic rooms to the right of the through-passage. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a four-window front. All windows have 20th-century plastic casements, except for a 19th-century wooden casement located in the upper storey of the porch. The ground storey of the porch features a moulded, round-arched granite doorway with "1705 RT" carved in the spandrels. The shippon to the left is L-shaped, with openings that have segmental arches made of well-cut voussoirs. There is a loft door with a gabled roof that rises above the eaves line. The interior has not been inspected.
