Pitminster Farmhouse

Pitminster Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, possibly incorporating an earlier dwelling. It features a rendered exterior that is grooved to resemble ashlar, a dentil cornice, and slate roofs with coped verges. There are 19th-century brick stacks located at the left gable end and the centre left, with another brick stack rising from the eaves on the right return. The building is L-shaped, consisting of three cells and a cross passage, with a shallow projecting cross wing on the right and a full-height projection to the right of the stack. It is two storeys tall with three bays on one side and one bay on the other; the gable end on the right has 12-pane sash windows, with a smaller window above a single-storey gabled porch that is set at an angle with the wing, featuring a half-glazed door. The interior has not been seen. It is possible that this was originally a 17th-century three-cell and cross passage house, which was enlarged at the lower end with the cross wing and partly rebuilt when the house was refenestrated.
