Description
Piccadilly Cottage is a garden pavilion, now used as a house, dating back to the 17th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a plain-tile roof. The original building is square, and has been extended into an L-shaped plan. The two-storey pavilion features large, two-light stone-mullioned windows with ovolo mouldings and decorative labels on three sides. Other openings, along with the two-window 19th-century range to the south and its 20th-century extension to the west, have brick dressings and segmental arches. The pavilion has a pyramidal roof. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage forms part of the former formal gardens of Ascott Park, which is included in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission County Register of Gardens at Grade II. Historical references can be found in The Victoria County History: Oxfordshire, Volume VII, page 121, Buildings of England: Oxfordshire, page 776, and Oxfordshire Parks by F. Woodward, 1982.
