Description
Shrog Products and Pickwikett, Low Fold is a farmhouse that has been converted into an office and dwelling. It is dated 1614 on a relocated datestone above the first-floor door and has undergone alterations and extensions. The building is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with quoins and features a stone slate roof. It has a rectangular three-unit plan with a rear outshut on the left side.
The structure is two storeys high, with the front (south) wall mostly rebuilt in the 18th century. It includes a flight of rebuilt stone steps at right angles to the facade near the right-hand end of the second bay, leading to a first-floor doorway with a plain surround and a relocated lintel that has raised lettering in panels reading "1616" and "NR" (with the N reversed). To the left of this doorway, there are two three-light windows on each floor, all featuring flat-faced flush mullions and plain surrounds. The ground floor right window is coupled with a doorway to its left, which also has a plain surround. The left corner of the building features large squared masonry, likely original from the 17th century, which rises to a corniced corner chimney. The third bay, known as Pickwikett, has altered openings and a modern glazed porch. There is a ridge chimney at the junction of the second and third bays, and another chimney at the right-hand gable.
The left gable wall, partially covered by an attached greenhouse, includes a two-light double-chamfered mullioned window at ground floor and another above, although the mullion has been replaced. At the rear, the middle bay has a three-light double-chamfered mullioned window on each floor, with a raised outshut.
Inside, the building has been altered but retains some original features, including stop-chamfered beams and joists in the first and second ground-floor bays. The second bay features a scarf-joint indicating a former firehood bressumer, and there is a Tudor-arched cross-corner fireplace in the first bay. A longitudinal partition with plain joists is present at the rear, while the first floor has been altered for use as a workshop in the 18th century.
