Description
The Poachers Rest, together with The Stores, an adjacent shop, and Cotsfield, is a restaurant, two shops, and a house built as a single range, dating from 1795 as indicated by a tablet inscribed "TP 1795". It is located on Bampton Market Square.
The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone and has a stone slate roof, with brick ridge chimneys positioned to the left and between bays 4 and 5. It is two storeys and an attic in height, with six bays. The windows are mostly old 3-light wood and metal casements, many with single horizontal glazing bars. Two first-floor windows on the left-hand side have old leaded glazing. All windows are set within flat stone arches.
The ground floor has been altered in later centuries. The second bay has a mid-to-late 19th-century canted bay window, originally used as a shop, and a 20th-century half-glazed door to the left. The third bay has a 20th-century canted shop window. The fourth bay features a 20th-century glazed door and a smaller, blocked window with a wooden lintel that bears a shop sign. The fifth bay contains a 20th-century glazed door and a small wooden window beneath a shared lintel. A 19th-century half-glazed door is found in the right-hand bay. Most doorways are topped with flat stone arches. Four small gabled roof dormers are visible, each with paired leaded casements.
