Description
Great Pitton Farmhouse is a 17th-century house with its main range extending from north-east to south-west, featuring a north-east gable that faces the road. The two units closer to the road are the older sections of the house. The exterior is finished with rendered and white-painted stonework, topped by a slate roof with a tile ridge. The eaves on the south-east side are boxed in, and there is a rendered chimney at the east gable.
On the north-west side of the older part, there are large buttresses flanking a doorway, which has been enclosed to form a porch. The bed outshut at the front, facing the farmyard, is also rendered and painted, featuring a large modern window and a slate roof. Other windows on this elevation are timber casements from earlier renovations, complete with rendered sills.
At the rear, a stairs outshut is positioned between a 19th-century crosswing and 20th-century extensions, featuring a catslide roof in slate. There is a modern glazed door located between the buttresses on the rear elevation, along with a small 19th-century casement window above it. The 19th-century rear crosswing includes a 12-pane hornless sash window on the ground floor facing south-west and another on the upper storey facing north-east. Additionally, there is a 4- and 2-pane sash window on the ground floor facing north-east.
Inside the 17th-century hall unit at the center of the house, there is a large chimney with a plain chamfered bressummer and a small salt-niche to the left. The chamber floor joists of the later inner unit to the north-east have been re-exposed.
