4/127 Pitt Farmhouse at SX 870 946
- II
House. Circa late C16 or earlier origins. Colourwashed rendered cob on stone rubble
footings; thatched roof half-hipped at ends; left end stack, stack on front wall.
The present plan is single-depth, 2 rooms wide with a through passage at the right
end. The early plan may have been a late medieval open hall house but without access
to the apex of the roof this remains unproven. The post-medieval plan was probably 3
rooms and a through passage, the inner room to the left heated from the end stack,
the hall heated from the front lateral stak and a lower end room to the right of the
passage: the lower end room no longer exists.
2 storeys. 2-window front with the projecting front lateral stack to right of centre
and a porch with a thatched lean-to roof at the extreme light leading into the
passage. Eaves thatch eyebrowed over the 2 windows to the left of the stack which
are 2-light C20 casements; The ground floor windows may be in original embrasures: a
2-light C20 casement to the left, a 3-light casement lighting the hall. The base of
a medieval granite cross shaft has been built into the corner of the rear left wall.
Interior The hall has a roughly chamfered cross beam and a fireplace with a plain
oak lintel and a bread oven. Brick screen wall between hall and passage, possibly
replacing oak screen. Partly reconstructed winder stair against rear wall. Apex of
roof not accessible at time of survey (1985) but 2 jointed crucks survive with
cambered collars. A closed truss over the inner room partition is said to consist of
wattle and daub, hip over inner end original. Owner claims to have discovered
original hearthstone in centre of floor.
An attractive small cob and thatch house with some interesting features and a roof
structure that may be Medieval.
