Description

Pickwick House is a house located in Corsham, dating from the later 18th century. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a stone tiled roof that is hipped to the north and half-hipped to the south, with wall stacks at the rear. The building is two storeys high with an attic and features a formal three-bay west front. This front includes full-height canted bays on either side of the central section, which has a moulded cornice and a small pediment above. There is a raised band and plinth, and the windows throughout are eight-pane sashes. The first floor has one sash window in the centre, while each bay has three sash windows across both floors. The main entrance is a central six-panel door set within a Roman Doric pedimented doorcase.

To the left, the north end of the house has a slightly recessed return with a band, cornice, and a blank window on the ground floor. The north end also features a band, cornice, and one range of eight-pane sash windows. At the rear, there is a parallel north-east wing that is half-hipped to the north and gabled to the south. This wing has a band, cornice, paired eight-pane sash windows on the ground floor, two first floor eight-pane sashes, and an attic window in the gable. To the right of the main front, there is a short length of wall that includes a fine reused ashlar gateway in a Gibbs surround, complete with a keystone and pediment, which was added around 1980.
