Description
Pickhurst is a country house dating from 1885, designed by Brydon for himself. The house has been reduced in size by the removal of a service court. It is constructed of brick, with tile hanging above a timbered first floor. The roofs are tiled, some hipped, and feature large, star-shaped stacks in the style of Norman Shaw. The house is two storeys high, with casement windows throughout, some incorporating leaded glass.
The entrance front features two gables. The right-hand gable is half-timbered above a brick ground floor, with a cove above. A single-storey, projecting porch with a Dutch gable is situated behind the left-hand gable. It has a panelled and part-glazed door, set beneath a wooden, dentil-moulded porch hood and a moulded brick surround. The garden front has a large angle bay to the left, topped with a half-timbered and pargetted gable. To the right is a two-storey oriel window, and in the central recessed entrance bay are double casement doors.
Inside, a panelled great hall extends over two storeys and incorporates a two-storey Doric columned wood arcade at one end.
