WHITESTONE SX 89 SE 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.
