15, Market Place

No. 15 Market Place is a Grade II* listed house in Chipping Norton, originally two 17th century cottages that were extended and refronted around 1780. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a gabled slate roof with end stone stacks topped with reconstituted caps. It stands three storeys high and has a three-window range, characterized by a moulded cornice, a plain parapet, and corner pilasters.

The top floor windows are six-over-three pane sashes, with the central window framed by a moulded architrave. The first floor features twelve-pane sashes, again with a similar moulded architrave on the central window. The ground floor windows are designed in a Venetian style, separated by Doric columns. The central entrance consists of a four-panel door topped with a patterned rectangular fanlight, all set within a reeded and banded architrave that has a slightly projecting flat hood.

Inside, the drawing room showcases a triglyph and paterae frieze, while the rear of the property reveals its earlier origins at a lower level. Notable features include a fine oak fronted livery cupboard, a bread oven, a plank door with an obtuse angled head, and a wood mullioned window located in the scullery.
