12, Devizes Road

No 12 on Devizes Road is an early 19th-century cottage associated with the Bowood estate. It is built from squared ironstone rubble and features a thatched half-hipped roof with octagonal paired ridge stacks. The original cottage is 1½ storeys tall and designed in a picturesque cottage style, with small-paned iron casement windows. There are two pairs of casements above, set under eyebrows, and a central triple casement below. The north end wall includes a small ground floor canted oriel. The thatched cottages of Sandy Lane represent an outstanding example of an estate village designed in the picturesque manner. A large addition was made to the south end in the 20th century.
