Description
Garden Lee Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Chapel Street in Bloxham. It is built from regularly coursed ironstone rubble and features two brick end stacks with a thatched roof. The cottage has a three-unit plan and is a single storey plus attic, with a two-window range. To the right, there is a thatched extension. The cottage has a 20th-century door on the right and a 20th-century casement window on the left, which has a 20th-century hood mould. A wooden lintel to the left indicates the former position of a second doorway. The attic includes two three-light ovolo mullioned windows with hood moulds and lozenge-shaped label tops. The extension on the right also has a 20th-century casement window with a 20th-century hood mould. The cottage is noted for its decorative stops on the window label moulds, which are characteristic of the Banbury region. The interior has not been inspected.
