Description
Baskerville Cottage is a house located on Church Street in Welford-on-Avon, dating from the 17th century with 20th-century alterations. It features a timber-frame structure with rendered and painted infill set on a rubble plinth, and a painted brick rear wing. The cottage has a steeply pitched tile roof with a brick stack at each end and another stack at the rear of the ridge on the right side.
The building is a single storey plus attic and has a three-window range. The entrance is approximately central and features a 20th-century stable door. The ground floor has three windows with renewed small-paned casements, while the attic includes three renewed gabled dormers, each with two-light small-paned casements. The exterior displays square framing with braces to the wall plate, and there is a small triangular section of exposed wattle infill above the brace on the right end. The left return shows exposed wall studs and gable framing, along with an external stack that has a small first-floor window to the left. The right return adjoins Bridges Cottage.
The single-storey rear wing has a top modillioned brick cornice, an entrance with a 20th-century stable door, 20th-century small-paned casements, and a cross-axial stack. The interior has not been inspected.
