Description
Chimes Cottage is an early 18th-century pair of cottages, now combined into a single house, located on The Butts in Biddestone. The building is constructed of rubble stone with a thatched roof, featuring coped gables and end wall stacks. It has one-and-a-half storeys with two casement pair dormers.
The ground floor front has, from left to right, a two-light window with a cyma-moulded mullion, a doorway, a small casement pair with a wood lintel, a renewed two-light stone-mullion window replacing a former doorway, and a three-light chamfered mullion window with a hood. A single dormer is visible at the rear, with an altered timber casement, a narrow light, a moulded mullion, and a replaced wider light. Another two-light mullion window with a hood is present on the ground floor.
The interior includes a stone party wall with a timber-framed full-height partition to the left of a cross passage. Stairs are situated from the cross passage and on the east end wall. A 20th-century rear extension has been added.
