Chipping Norton Recording Studios

Chipping Norton Recording Studios is a house, later repurposed as British Schools and now serving as recording studios, built around 1730 and significantly enlarged in 1854. The building is constructed from coursed and squared rubble stone with stone dressings, topped with a gabled slate roof featuring two ridge stone stacks and a centrally placed open ridge stove flue.

The original house occupies the center of the roadside facade, comprising five bays. It features banded quoins, projecting architraves, and proud keystones to the 12-pane windows, a first-floor platband, and a moulded cornice. The 1854 addition included a stepped parapet displaying "British Schools." Two flanking extensions were added at this time, one for boys and one for girls, both connected to the original house by a first-floor band and similar window dressings. The boys' section contains 12-pane sashes to the upper windows and a 16-pane sash on the ground floor. A four-panel door with a two-pane rectangular fanlight is located to the left, and a 20th-century door with a glazed rectangular fanlight is to the right. The girls’ section, of two bays, features 20th-century windows and an eight-panel door with a rectangular fanlight above.
