Bickham

Bickham is a pair of cottages that have been combined into one dwelling. The original structure dates from the late 17th century, with a second cottage added in the early 18th century. The building is constructed from rendered stone rubble and cob, set on bedrock, and features a slate roof with a hipped end on the left and a gable end on the right. There is a rendered stone rubble chimney stack, likely for the parlour, at the lower end on the left, and a large projecting stone rubble rear lateral chimney stack for the hall-kitchen on the right, which includes a brick shaft and a cloam oven projection.

At the rear of the parlour, there is a smaller cottage made of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a corrugated asbestos roof that has gable ends and a lean-to outshut. The layout consists of two rooms with a through passage, where the parlour is located at the lower end on the left and the hall-kitchen on the right, heated by the large rear lateral stack with the cloam oven. A further one-room cottage was added to the rear of the parlour, with an outshut built at the angle behind the through passage of the 17th-century range.

The two cottages were merged into a single dwelling in the early 20th century. An outbuilding was added to the higher right-hand gable end of the 17th-century range, which was later converted into a garage. The front elevation is asymmetrical and two storeys high, with no window openings on the left-hand side. The central section features a late 19th or early 20th-century four-panelled door, with a 19th-century two-light casement window to the right on both the ground and first floors. There is also a two-light casement window in the lower left-hand hipped end, with a one-light casement above. The rear cottage has 19th-century casement windows and an outshut with a lean-to corrugated asbestos roof and raised eaves.

Inside, there is a slight plank and muntin screen flanking the passage, rough-cut ceiling beams, and 20th-century chimney pieces. The roof timbers have not been inspected.
