Description

Pitney House is a detached house built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with stone chimney stacks. The house has two storeys and a three-bay main façade. It includes sash windows with plain surrounds, timber lined reveals, and blind boxes beneath voussoired flat heads, with 12-pane windows above and 5+5+5 pane composite windows below. In the lower bay, there are a pair of three-panel doors set within a large open porch supported by Doric stone columns and pilasters, with a timber superstructure. There are later 19th-century extensions on the northeast side. The interior has not been seen.
