  Pickhurst is a grade II* listed house set in 130 acres (53 ha) of land near Chiddingfold, Surrey, England.
  
  ## History
  
  It was designed by the Scottish architect J.M. Brydon in 1885 as his own home. The design was influenced by the style of Norman Shaw. In the 1950s a fire badly damaged the original service wing and internal courtyard necessitating their demolition. The building subsequently underwent a six-year renovation by Ian Adam-Smith.
