Cob House

Cob House, dated 1672, was originally a wing of the Parsonage House and is now a separate dwelling. It may be linked to Christopher Kempster, a craftsman associated with the Oxford-Wren circle. The house features a freestone front with chamfered quoins and rebated corners on the upper floors, topped with a Cotswold stone roof and an ashlar end chimney on the right.

The building stands two storeys tall and has three bays. Notable elements of the front include three pedimented features above the eaves: two outer triangular pediments and a central segmental pediment that is dated, all adorned with moulded cornices and flat-edged blocked oval panels. The first floor has an imposing piano-nobile with architraves and cornices surrounding the stone cross mullion windows. The ground floor resembles a basement or rustic level, characterized by a chamfered plinth and lower quality stone. It features mullioned windows within moulded architraves, suggesting possible remodelling, and includes a straight joint near the south end and a cellar grating.

The south return of the building is constructed from coursed rubble and has two blocked first-floor windows with simple architraves, along with a blocked oval window in the attic. Access is provided through a single-storey extension on the right, built of ashlar and set at an angle, featuring a four-panel door. Originally, the main room of this building was a first-floor room that has now been subdivided. Cob House was formerly the east wing of the Old Vicarage.
