Description
The Old House is a late 17th-century farmhouse located in Milton-under-Wychwood. It features coursed rubble walls and a Cotswold stone roof, with an end chimney on the right-hand side made of ashlar. The building has a gabled front, resembling an enlarged cottage, and stands two-and-a-half storeys tall. The windows are C20 casements with timber lintels, consisting of two-light windows in the attics, three on the first floor, and four on the ground floor. The facade includes two outer gables and a central entry bay with a half-glazed door. Inside, there is a lobby entry adjacent to the stairs and a heavy purlin roof. The rear has a lean-to section that incorporates two small monolithic medieval-type windows, possibly the work of a quarryman, one of which has three lights with cusped heads.
