Pitt Farmhouse

Pitt Farmhouse is a house of two storeys, with an older section dating back to the 17th century situated along the roadside. An additional two-storey wing extends to the east. The exterior is constructed of local rubble masonry, whitewashed to the west and north sides, and rendered to the south and east. Ivy covers the east elevation of the wing. The roof is slate, with a single small rooflight on the north side. There are three large chimneys on the original main range and two on the east extension. A corbelled fireplace projection is visible in the north gable elevation, to the right of the chimney.

The fenestration of Pitt has been significantly altered, but evidence of earlier windows remains in the form of hood moulds on the west (facing the road), north (facing the farmyard), south, and east elevations. These hood moulds are visible above ground and first-floor windows. The current windows and doors, dating to the 19th century, include a six-pane sash window at the centre of the west elevation, along with smaller casements and four-pane sash windows. The south gable elevation has two hood moulds. The east elevation of the main range features a blind window and three twelve-pane sash windows, with a matching four similar windows on the adjacent south elevation of the east wing.

The original north/south range contains a parlour to the south, a small service bay incorporating the staircase, and a northern service room now used as a second parlour. An east extension of this service room serves as a kitchen, with an external door to the north and a large fireplace in the east wall. A later bakehouse extension, set down several steps, is attached to the east, with its own external door to the north.

The main entrance is on the east side of the original range, leading into a small entrance lobby. The original two-panel doors lead left and right from the lobby, with the main staircase directly ahead. Original features of the staircase include carved square newels with recessed panels and bulbous finials, wall-strings, half-balusters, and a light partition on the south side. A simpler continuation of the staircase leads to the attic. A secondary, winding oak staircase is located in the east wing, with hollow-curved treads on the lower flight and straight-fronted treads on the upper flight.

The roof structure of the original range comprises five bays, with a full-height masonry cross-wall north of the staircase. The trusses are collar beam type with curved, lapped and dovetailed collars. Some original rafters remain on the east side of the original structure, where the roof over the kitchen unit has been added. The east wing's roof features straight collar-beam trusses.
