Long Wivets

Long Wivets is a late burgage house with origins dating to the late 17th century, which was remodeled around 1920, possibly in 1910, in the Cotswold style attributed to Norman Jewson or F L Griggs. The front of the building is primarily constructed of 20th-century ashlar, but it retains some freestone and features a moulded eaves cornice beneath a Cotswold stone roof. The house has coped verges and ashlar end chimneys, standing two storeys tall with a gable-lit attic. It consists of two bays and has mullioned windows. A notable feature is the 20th-century two-storey angled bay with a stone mullion window and a parapet. There is a string course over the ground floor that is broken around the bay. To the left, there is a Tudor arch doorway with a moulded ledged door. The gabled return to the north has a string course over the first floor and a corniced attic window with moulded jambs. Inside, there are Tudor arch fireplaces with panelled spandrels on both the ground and first floors, along with a modern ingle-nook on the ground floor. At the rear, there is an L-plan extension that was formerly used as stables and burgage cottages.
