Picket How And Former Byre

Picket How and the former byre is a farmhouse and former byre, now part of a dwelling, dating from the late 17th century. It features painted roughcast walls on a projecting plinth, topped with a graduated greenslate roof and roughcast and brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a lower former byre to the left and a rear extension that creates an overall T-shape.

On the façade, there are 2-light stone-mullioned windows on either side of a small window that may have originally been a firewindow. The upper floor has a smaller 2-light stone-mullioned window, while some of the other windows have had their mullions removed. A cross-passage doorway features a plank door set within a late 18th-century painted stone surround, topped by a shaped lintel. Additionally, there is a sash window in the former byre that has a similar surround and shaped lintel.
