Description
This is an 18th-century pair of cottages, now combined into a single house, located in The Butts, Westbury. The cottages are constructed of rubble stone and have a thatched roof with coped gables and end wall stacks. The first floor includes a two-light mullion window with a cyma-moulded head, a small four-pane casement window, and a 20th-century pair of casement windows. On the ground floor, there’s a two-light mullion window with a hood mould, a doorway, a second two-light mullion window with a hood, one light of which is blocked and obscured by a buttress. A 20th-century two-light mullion window has replaced a former door and a two-light window with an ovolo-moulded head and hood. A later 18th-century cottage addition is present to the west, featuring a stone-tiled roof and a west end stack. This western addition has two dormer gables with casement windows and a ground-floor three-light casement window. A west-end lean-to has double Roman tiles and what was once a doorway, now a casement window facing forward.
