Description

Pittyvaich is an 18th century farmhouse with two different builds, facing west. The main structure is two stories tall with an irregular, wide four-bay front. It features harled rubble walls with tooled granite margins and dressings. The entrance is off-centre and is masked by a modern glazed porch. The rear has irregular window placements and modern glazing, along with end and ridge coped stacks and crowsteps. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos.

At the rear, there is a single-storey, two-bay wing that has an end stack and a slate roof. Inside, there is little of interest remaining, except for fielded panelled window shutters located in the northern end of the house.
