Description
Cook's Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now divided, located on Langford Lechlade Road. It dates from around 1730, with partial remodelling in 1826, as indicated by a datestone, and has had later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble with alternating angle quoins, featuring a machine tile roof on the main range and stone slates on the lower range.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three windows, which are 19th-century casements with crudely rusticated heads, except for a 20th-century casement on the lower left. The central entrance consists of a plank door with two glazed panels at the top and a plain lintel. There is an integral end stack on the left with a moulded dripstone and a red brick top. The right gable end has 19th-century casements, with three lights on the first floor and two lights on the ground floor, and features dripstones. This gable end also displays the datestone "WE/1826" at the top.
To the left, the lower range includes a boarded door on the right and a 19th-century casement on the left. There is a semi-circular external end stack with a projection at the base that houses a bread oven. The interior was not inspected during the last survey in May 1987, but it was noted to have a chamfered cross beam aligned with the main entrance. A 20th-century single-storey addition at the rear is not considered of special architectural interest. A datestone reading "1730" is incorporated into a nearby converted farm building that is not included in this listing.
