The Cottage Adjoining the Old Shop

The Cottage adjoining the Old Shop is a cottage located at the end of a row in Little Rissington, likely originally two cottages. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with a slightly later extension. The building is constructed of orange-coloured coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring dressed stone quoins. The roof is mostly covered with concrete tiles, with a small area of stone slate on the forward-facing pitch. There is a dressed stone stack that was restored in the 20th century.

The main body of the cottage is rectangular and has two storeys. On the first floor, there is a single 2-light metal casement window set within a cambered-arched headed surround. The ground floor features a similar casement window with top opening lights, alongside a panelled 19th-century door within a cambered-headed surround to the left. To the right, there is a 1.5-storey extension with a lower roofline, which includes a 2-light fixed casement window within a cambered-headed surround on the ground floor. The gable end of this extension has 20th-century single and 2-light casements. On the left side, there is another 1.5-storey extension with a lower roofline, featuring a rendered 2-light roof dormer and a two-light casement window within a cambered-headed surround on the ground floor. The main body of the cottage has a gable-end stack. The interior has not been inspected.
