Description
Fittleworth House is a house built in 1719 by Thomas Edsaw. It has three storeys and features five windows, constructed of ashlar stone. The building has an eaves bracket cornice and a hipped slate roof, with a central window-bay that projects. The glazing bars are intact. In the early 19th century, a two-storey, three-window section was added to the north-east, along with a central porch and a two-storey bay on the south-west wall. There is a long one-storey wing at the back to the north-west. Inside, there is a good staircase and panelling dating from around 1719.
