Tulip Cottage, Manor Cottage And Higleys Cottage

Tulip Cottage, Manor Cottage, and Higleys Cottage are three small houses that were likely once one or two separate dwellings. They date from the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The buildings are constructed from limestone rubble with wooden lintels, featuring roofs made of Stonesfield slate and concrete plain tiles, along with rubble chimney stacks. The cottages form an L-shaped range and stand two storeys high with attics.

Tulip Cottage, which projects towards the road, has a rectangular stair projection with a small leaded casement window. Manor Cottage, located at the angle of the ranges, has modern casement windows but still retains an old plank door beneath a stone-slated canopy. Higleys Cottage, situated in the right half of the rear range, features a small-pane casement window and a doorway positioned to the right of the chimney stack. There is also a single-storey section on the end of the range, likely built in the 19th century, designed as a grotto with an archway (now glazed) and several recesses. The steeply pitched roofs of both ranges include a total of four chimney stacks, and there are 19th and 20th-century extensions projecting from the left side of the front range.

Inside, the cottages have stop-chamfered beams and open fireplaces. It is noted that one of the doors previously displayed the date 1668. The vermiculated stonework of the grotto may have been sourced from Thomas Bushell's renowned waterworks at Neat Enstone.
