Description
Pickford Grange Farmhouse is a house that likely dates back to the 16th century, with later alterations. The building features timber-framing that has been partly replaced by brick, and it has a tile roof. It stands two storeys high, with the east wall rendered. The main range consists of three bays, with blind recesses in the outer bays on the first floor. There is a doorway located in the middle bay. To the right, there is a jettied cross-wing that has a three-light casement window on the ground floor, which features leaded glazing. The first-floor window is positioned at the far right of the facade. On the left side, there is a taller one-bay addition made of stone and brick. The chimneys are located on the left-hand gable of the addition and in line with the doorway, with the latter situated behind the ridge.
Inside, the current doorway leads into a stair lobby adjacent to the main stack. Both rooms in the main range contain inglenooks with boxed bressummers, and each has a chamfered axial beam, with the right-hand beam featuring stepped stops. The rear doorway is next to the cross-wing, and there are two doorways leading into the cross-wing, although one is now blocked. On the first floor, the visible trusses of the main range have straight struts between the tie-beam and collar, along with curved wind braces. The cross-wing appears to be framed independently, but the roof trusses are of a similar design.
