Description
Bagatelle Cottage is a mid-19th century cottage located on Wood Lane in Chippenham. It is built of sandstone rubble with limestone quoins, a plinth, and dressings, topped with a double-Roman tile roof and no chimneys. The cottage is designed in the Gothic Revival style and features a two-unit plan with lean-to wings on either side.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window arrangement. There is a 20th-century porch leading to a 19th-century planked-and-studded door. The paired two-light windows have diagonal-leaded lights, with the upper windows at eaves level featuring semicircular arches and the ground floor windows having pointed arches. Above the door, there is a quatrefoil window set in a diagonally-positioned freestone square. Steps on either side lead down to a pointed-arched doorway in a lean-to that slopes from the eaves level. Above the doors are blind trefoil windows, with the left one obscured by ivy. The rear windows of the cottage are blocked.
An attached limestone rubble wall, approximately 1.5 meters high and 23 meters long, extends to the southeast along Wood Lane from the rear left of the cottage. The interior has not been inspected.
