Description
Picton House is a terraced house dating from the 19th century, featuring painted stucco and a slate roof with a rendered stone stack on the left end. The building stands two storeys tall with a cellar and attic. It has two eaves dormers that contain 4-pane sash windows with sloping roofs. On the first floor, there are four 4-pane horned sash windows. The ground floor includes a 20th-century window in the left bay, a house door in the second bay, and a late 19th-century shopfront on the right. The shopfront has a plate glass projecting window with a single front pane, curved glass corners, a deep fascia, and a cornice. The fascia and cornice extend to the left over a 20th-century glazed shop door with an overlight, and over a narrower 4-panel house door with an overlight inscribed 'Picton House'. There is a plain pier between the doors. At the rear, there is a large stone rectangular stack on the wall face to the left, along with a lean-to structure on the rear left.
Inside, the hallway features one plain six-panel door, which is boarded over on the inside, leading into a small room on the left that has a blocked fireplace. The hall has a door on the right that leads to the shop, and a cupboard at the foot of the stairs with panelled doors. The staircase, located on the back wall, is designed in the Chinese Chippendale style, with a rail pattern of crossed diagonals between widely spaced uprights, creating a broken rhythm. The closed panelled string and moulded rail lead up one short flight to the first-floor landing, a second flight to a landing over the stairwell, and a third short flight to the attic. The landing rails have a slightly different pattern. The shop contains later 19th-century shelves on the back wall. The cellar, located under the front room, is said to be cut into bedrock but has not been seen.
