Description

Pickwick Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse constructed of rubble with freestone dressings. It features a double Roman tiled roof with coped raised verges and finials, along with ashlar stacks. The building has two storeys, attics, and a cellar on the right side. The ground floor has five windows, while the first floor has three. The windows are single, two-light, and three-light casements set in ovolo moulded mullions and surrounds. The two left windows on the ground floor are from the 20th century and have concrete surrounds. There is a continuous dripmould over the two centre-left windows. The central door is also from the 20th century. The south gable end has similar windows, and there is a 20th-century single bay wing set back to the left.
