Description
Pytchley House, The Old Forge, and attached outbuildings are an early 18th-century house with later alterations, mainly from the mid-18th and 19th centuries. The house is constructed of limestone ashlar, while the attached forge is of squared coursed limestone and brick, both with slate roofs. Originally planned as a two-unit house, it is two storeys high with an attic. The front features a two-window range of 19th and 20th-century casement windows in original openings, each with a gauged stone head. A central 20th-century door is also under a similarly styled head. The house has a chamfered plinth and a raised string course between floors, along with a pair of gabled eaves dormers. The gables have ashlar parapets, kneelers, and ashlar stacks at the ends. A plaque with a moulded cornice is positioned between the first-floor windows.
To the left, a two-window range, remodelled in the 19th century and formerly the forge, is attached. This section has 19th and 20th-century casement windows beneath wooden lintels, and a large plank door beneath a wooden lintel to the right. Brick stacks are present at the ridge and end of this section. The left gable shows evidence of an early 18th-century roof pitch. Outbuildings attached to the rear are partly brick. The interior has not been inspected.
