Description
Pike House is a farmhouse dated 1740, now functioning as a house. It is constructed from coursed watershot thin sandstone rubble with large quoins and features gable copings with kneelers. The roof is slate with gable chimneys. The building has a double-pile, 2-bay plan and stands two storeys high, displaying an almost symmetrical façade. The central doorway has a chamfered surround and a large lintel that is crudely inscribed with the letter "B". There are two windows on each floor; the ground floor features windows with 4 and 5 lights, both with chamfered surrounds, chamfered mullions (some of which are missing), and very thin hoodmoulds. The first floor has two windows, each with 4 lights and chamfered flush mullions (some of which are also missing). The rear of the house has modernised windows. There is a damaged 18th-century cottage adjoining on the left and a brick lean-to on the right, neither of which is included in this listing. The interior has not been inspected.
