Description
No. 14 Oxford Street is a cottage built in 1853-1854 for the Great Western Railway Company as part of a village designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to accommodate workers for the new railway works. The village layout, based on Brunel's early drawings from 1840, features a grid of twelve terraces in six blocks on either side of the High Street, with construction starting in 1842 and most buildings completed by 1855.
This cottage is constructed from ashlar limestone with black mortar and has a slate roof with a brick stack. It is two stories high and consists of one bay with a through side passage. The cottage features chamfered window and door surrounds, with the door having splayed stops. The doors are 20th-century fifteen-pane designs, and the windows are four-pane sashes.
The village is noted for being one of Britain's best-preserved and architecturally ambitious railway settlements, with the local authority acquiring and restoring the cottages from British Rail in 1966.
