Description
Picton House is a house dating from around 1700, with early and late 18th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and has a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys tall with an attic and features five bays in its earliest part. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have rebated and chamfered surrounds, as well as projecting sills. The narrow stones in the jambs indicate that the windows originally had a mullion and transom. Above the ground floor windows, there is a band of narrow stones, possibly indicating where a string course has been removed.
To the left, there are two added bays with sashes featuring glazing bars, plain reveals, projecting sills, and keyed lintels. To the right, there is another addition of one bay that contains a sash with glazing bars, plain reveals, and a projecting sill above an elliptical arch leading to a yard entrance. The house has five hipped attic dormers. The central door is six panels within a lugged architrave from around 1700, complete with a transom light and an added projecting timber hood. At the rear, a wing extending from the early part of the house has rebated and chamfered mullioned windows.
Inside, the right-hand room features an exposed chamfered beam and a stone inglenook fireplace with a timber bressummer.
