Picket Twenty is a suburb of Andover, in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. The centre of Andover lies to the (2.6 km) north-west of the suburb. For much of its existence it was a free-standing hamlet.
History
On the 1888 OS map, only the farmstead of "Picket Twenty Farm" is drawn, although "Pavey's Farm" is relatively nearby"[1]
Just thirteen dwellings are listed for Picket Twenty in the 1962 Kelly's Directory of Andover, it appears this number remained constant until 2008.[2]
Construction began in 2010 for 1,200 new homes on agricultural land near to the hamlet.[3] By September 2019 1158 homes were occupied. After 2017 in a further phase of development, housing was built beneath Andover Down, and relatively close to Harewood forest. A torch sculpture was completed in the village in 2024 although this proved divisive.[4]
Although an expansion of Andover, the Picket Twenty development is detached from the urban area, with a large sports ground providing a natural barrier. Picket Twenty can therefore be considered a suburb of Andover.
Both the barn and granary at Picket Twenty Farm are grade two listed.[5]
