Description
Cotswold Cottage is a 17th-century house located on the west side of Thames Street in Charlbury. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble with timber lintels and features a stone slate roof. The building has a truncated lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high with a one-window range. To the left, there is a stable-type door beneath an ovolo moulded lintel, with a 20th-century casement window to the right. The first floor has a sash window with glazing bars, and there is a small blocked window to the left. A small hipped roof on the side of the gable end chimney, which is finished in brick, suggests that there may have been another bay to the left, now replaced by a 20th-century single-storey lean-to extension. The rear elevation includes one wooden-mullioned window, and another is located on the right side elevation, both featuring moulded lintels. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer and chamfered ceiling beams. The roof has not been inspected.
