DESCRIPTION
Pickhill Hall is an impressive period country house with elegant front façade built in the Baroque style being fully deserving of its Grade II listing. The original part of the house is believed to date from 1681 and the principal elevation is early 18th Century comprising three storeys of red brick with stone dressings including a low rusticated base, quoins and pretruding central bay flanked by full height Corinthian pilasters. To the east is a two-storey Victorian wing added in 1866 together with a west wing dating from circa 1990.
Originally built as a private house, Pickhill Hall was redeveloped and sub-divided into a number of properties at the end of the 20th Century. Occupying a tranquil rural setting, it is approached via a long private drive with parking and garaging to the rear. 2 Pickhill Hall forms part of the south front comprising a duplex apartment accessed at ground floor level via the original front door beneath a Corinthian porch. The accommodation is extremely generous with a floor area of 2,365 sq ft arranged over two floors and heating is courtesy of night storage and convection heaters. Beyond an impressive reception hall are the principal entertaining rooms which are elegant and well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and in addition to which there is a conservatory. To the rear of the property is a small kitchen which is perfectly functional but dated, whilst at first floor level there are 3 spacious double bedrooms served by two bathrooms which would again benefit from being upgraded.
