House To North Of Market Cross Cottage

This building, located to the north of Market Cross Cottage in Castle Combe, is a house that was formerly three cottages. It dates from the 17th century and has been altered over time. The structure is made of rubble stone and features a stone-tiled roof, with a stack at the south end, a coped north gable topped with a ball finial, and a large chimney gable at the rear.

The house is two stories high and has a three-window range. On the first floor, there are three recessed ovolo-moulded mullion windows with three lights each. Two of these windows have leaded lights and iron opening lights. The ground floor features, from left to right, a door with a cambered timber head set in a trellis porch with a stone-tiled roof; a timber cross-mullioned leaded window with a relieving arch above; a three-light recessed ovolo-moulded mullion window with a hoodmould and leaded lights; a pair of doors in flush stone surrounds with a hood supported by three brackets above; and a three-light cyma-moulded flush mullion window with leaded lights. The first and second doors are made of oak planks.

The north end wall, which faces the churchyard, has a blocked Perpendicular three-light arched window and a carved corbel, likely removed from the church in 1851. To the right, there is a crowstepped end to a rear lean-to that features a depressed arched doorway and a 15th-century Gothic panelled door. The rear of the house has a low gabled range to the west of the central chimney gable, and to the right, there are two-light flush cyma-moulded windows on the ground floor, with a dormer gable above.
