Burford Branch Library And Adjoining House

The Burford Branch Library and adjoining house is an 18th-century building located on the west side of Burford and Upton High Street. It features a front made of coursed rubble and has Cotswold stone roofs, with a central brick and ashlar chimney. The structure is two storeys high, with a parapet raised to a flat apex and a pediment in the centre that conceals the flat roof. The front incorporates two houses and consists of four bays, with a set-back bay on the right-hand side. The two inner bays have wide angled bays with glazing-bar sashes, while the left-hand bay on the ground floor has been squared off in the 20th century to accommodate a shop window. There are outer doorways: to the left, a reeded surround leads to the County Library, featuring wooden brackets and a glazed overlight above a six-panel door; to the right, there is a ledged door that provides access to an alley.
