Description
Pickwell Manor House is a small country house built in the 17th century, with additions from the early and late 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a Collyweston slate roof. The building has coped gables, a chamfered plinth, a first-floor band, and three gable and three lateral coped ashlar stacks.
The house is two storeys plus attics and has five bays. The south front has a central half-glazed doorway, which shows traces of a former pedimented doorcase, flanked by two 19th-century canted bay windows, each containing three plain sashes. Above the doorway, there are five glazing bar sashes, and above that, three hipped dormers with two-light casements. To the left, there is a late 18th-century single bay addition, and to the right, a 20th-century summerhouse with a flat roof.
On the west entrance front, there is an off-centre 19th-century gabled porch with a recessed double door, flanked by two three-light mullioned windows. To the right of the porch, there is a gabled wing that features a squat Venetian window and, above it, a round-headed plain sash. Both of these windows have fine ashlar surrounds with keystoned heads. To the left, there are 19th-century additions that include two three-light cross-mullioned casements.
