Sweetbit

Sweetbit is a farmhouse built around 1830, likely designed by architect Walter Newall, with minor alterations made around 1853. It is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring three bays and located at the south end of a courtyard steading. The structure is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and is whitewashed.

The house has a gabled central porch and bargeboarded canted dormers that were added to the south elevation in the mid-19th century. It features sash windows, mostly with 12-pane glazing on the ground floor, straight skews, and coped end stacks.

The steading, accessed from the southwest corner, consists of asymmetrical recessed ranges flanking the house. The western range includes a three-bay cartshed leading into the courtyard, while the tall northern range contains a barn with some boarded and glazed openings. The roof of this range sweeps over a lean-to in the west re-entrant angle, and both the east and west ranges are simpler in design. There is a detached L-plan range to the west with a roof that is partly half-slated.

All roofs are covered with graded slates, and the steading roofs are mostly piended, featuring some roof lights and louvered ventilators. The courtyard is partly cobbled.
