Description

The farmyard buildings at Great Pitton Farm consist of a U-plan arrangement featuring a pair of barns on the south-west side, a byre range on the north-east, and a stable range on the south-east. They are constructed with local axe-dressed masonry and mostly have slate roofs with tile ridges. The side facing the farmyard is painted white.

The left barn, viewed from the farmyard, is a threshing barn that retains its large doorway on the farmyard side, which has a replaced sliding door. The large doorway at the rear has been bricked up, except for a smaller doorway. There are four tall slit ventilators, one located at each corner. The right barn has modern doors beneath a timber lintel at the rear and has recently been re-roofed, featuring two rooflights and a metal flue at the rear.

The stable building is partially hidden behind the adjacent barn, with a small gap between them. Its rear slope is covered with asbestos roofing. It has a door, two windows, and two slit ventilators on the side facing the farmyard, as well as a door and window on the rear, which includes a later asbestos-roofed cartshed. To the east of the stable is a shed built after 1878, which has a plain face towards the farmyard and informal buildings at the rear that have been opened on the east side.

In the byre range, the left building, seen from the farmyard, has a door to the right and a small window for the loft. The right building is lower and has been used as two cartsheds and a byre, featuring a very wide double opening on the farmyard side with a central round stone pier. The left opening has been partially walled up. Inside, there are feeding racks and floor drainage.
