Description
Nos. 36 and 37 are a pair of cottages located on the A423 in Nuneham Courtenay. They were built in the mid-18th century and extended in the 20th century. The cottages are constructed of brick in Flemish bond with some flared headers, and feature timber framing with brick infill. They have an old plain-tile roof with a brick stack.
The cottages have a two-unit plan and are one storey plus an attic. The front facades have two windows, made of chequer brick with a dentil eaves course and segmental arches. Each cottage has two-light plank-shuttered casements flanking central doorways. The plank door to No. 37 remains, while the doorway to No. 36 has been built up as a casement. Both cottages feature two gabled dormers and share a central stack. The end walls are fully timber framed with passing braces; the left wall retains complete framing and returns to a brick extension from the 20th century, while the right wall retains only the main timbers.
The interiors have not been inspected. These cottages are part of the estate village built around 1760 by the 1st Earl Harcourt.
