Description
Pickwood House is a house dating from the 17th century that was refronted in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with three gabled rear wings and quoins. The openings have plain stone surrounds, and the windows have flat-faced mullions. On the right side of the second bay, there is a six-panel door with an overlight and a blind window above it. To the left of this door and at the outer bays, there are two-light windows with 20th-century glazing on each floor. There is a stack on the left end and another on the ridge between the first and second bays.
At the rear, the left bay features a flat-faced mullion window with a three-light double-chamfered mullion window above, both of which are blocked. The central bay has a four-light chamfered mullion window on the first floor. The right bay projects further and has a gable stack, with a door on each floor of the inner return. The right return includes a three-light double-chamfered mullion window on the ground floor to the right.
Inside, there is an early 19th-century dog-leg staircase with wavy and straight balusters, and the house is said to have King-post roof trusses. Additionally, a gateway attached to the rear right features a reused door lintel dated '1664 IMSM', which may have come from the earlier house.
