Cottisford House

House, dating from around 1700, with alterations and additions from around 1830 by William Turner. Restoration work followed a fire around 1930. The house is constructed of squared, coursed limestone with a hipped old-tile roof, and stone ridge and end stacks. It follows a double-depth plan with two main storeys and an attic. The original front features a three-window arrangement. A central entrance, accessed via stone steps, has a panelled and glazed door within a broken segmental doorcase. This is flanked by tall, narrow sash windows with glazing bars and stone surrounds. Three similar windows are on the first floor. A dentil-detailed wood eaves cornice runs along the top, and hipped roof dormers are present. A lower, early 19th-century wing adjoins the left side, while a similar wing on the right has been demolished.

The west elevation also has a double-depth plan and a hipped, M-shaped roof. This part has two storeys and a three-window range. The central entrance features a panelled door, a semi-circular fanlight, and an open-pedimented wooden doorcase. The entrance is flanked by sashes set in flush wooden frames, featuring glazing bars and keyblock lintels. Three similar first-floor windows are present, with the central window beneath a Flemish-style stone gable. A three-window range is visible on the south return.

The house was originally built around 1700 for Laurence Lord, a tenant of Eton College, who were Lords of Cottisford from 1442 until the end of the 19th century. The interior contains fittings from the 18th and 19th centuries.
