Description
The Pike House is a former turnpike house dating from the early 19th century, now attached to a 20th-century café that is not of special interest. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and coursed rubble limestone, with a brick chimney and a Welsh slate roof. It is two stories tall, featuring an octagonal end facing the road with a central plank door and a canted oriel window above. The ground floor has a 19th-century casement window on the angled faces, with a blank recess above it. To the left of the recess, there are remains of painted lettering that reads 'THE/PIKE HOUSE/...'. All openings have deep stone lintels. The sides of the building are plain, with the south side featuring an eaves-mounted chimney and a hipped roof. The Pike House was built to serve the turnpike road established in 1726, which connected Dursley with the Gloucester to Bristol turnpike road.
