Number 35 (nearer camera) and number 31 Ford Street. Now two houses they were part of a late 16th/early 17th century 3-room-and-through-passage plan. Number 31 has a fine granite chamfered 4-centred arch doorway (see 6000158). Both houses are listed, grade II, with details at: (No 31) https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1308435 and at (No 35) https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1147656

Number 15 Ford Street, Ollycot, was once part of a late 15th/early 16th century 3-room-through-passage house. The house was enlarged and possibly rebuilt to form a separate house in the early 19th century. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1147597

Number 17 Ford Street is part of a late 15th/early 16th century 3-room-and-through-passage plan from which number 15 was separated in the early 19th century. The house was remodelled in the 18th century and the shop inserted in the 19th century. There is much surviving original fabric and it has remained remarkably unaltered since the early 19th century, both externally and internally. It is one of the earliest buildings in Moretonhampstead and one of only 4 or 5 with smoke- blackened roof timbers.

Pitt House was probably originally a 3-room-and-through-passage plan. In circa 1700 there was extensive remodelling or rebuilding to provide the improved accommodation expected at that time. Substantial houses of this period are uncommon in Devon and Pitt House is very intact both internally and externally. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1334202 The adjoining garden wall and the railings are also listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1097217

The Union Inn premises are thought to date from the sixteenth century. Known as The Swan until the early 1800’s, the property was owned by the Church probably as a brewhouse. The name changed to commemorate the Act of Union, which united Ireland with England, Scotland and Wales, in 1801.

In Ford Street, this property, numbers 3 and 5, was, along with number 1, part of one late 16th or early 17th century house. Remodelled and sub-divided in the early 19th century, many original features are retained. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1147250
