Description
The latrine house and washing place, located about 14 metres north-west of Chittleford Farmhouse, is a structure likely built in the early 19th century, with the washing place possibly being older. The latrine house is constructed from granite rubble and features a slated roof. It is a single-storey building situated on a bank above the stream that borders the garden of Chittleford Farmhouse. The building has a door on the south-east side and no windows. Inside, there is a wooden seat with two openings above a shaft that empties directly into the stream. The roof structure consists of common rafters with occasional tie-beams.
The washing place is located about 5 metres south-east of the latrine house, against a granite wall that extends back towards the farmhouse. Embedded in this wall is a granite chute that carries spring water. In front of the chute is a large semi-circular trough made from a single piece of granite, which was formerly covered by a roof; one granite supporting post from this roof remains.
