As an early example of the Victorian Jacobean revival style, Pitt House is listed as being of immense architectural and historic interest. Built in 1841 by architects Sir George Gilbert Scott and William Bonythan Moffat, Pitt House is a grand example of the 'Jacobean' style with curly Dutch gables and castellated bay and oriel windows. The construction is mostly of squared and dressed grey limestone with cream limestone dressings to windows and doors etc. The house is particularly noted for its architect, the renowned Sir George Gilbert Scott who is responsible for a number of iconic structures including London's St. Pancras railway station, the Albert Memorial and restoration works to Westminster Abbey. A model of Pitt House has previously been found at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and is one of the few surviving examples of Sir Gilbert Scott's private residential designs. In 1985 Pitt House was sympathetically converted into six apartments and it is surrounded by 3.5 acres of communal gardens and woodland.
