Description
This is a house located on Cecily Hill in Cirencester, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with some later alterations. The building is constructed from coursed squared limestone with a brick bay, all of which is limewashed. It features a stone slate roof, a rebuilt brick stack at the right end, and a stone ridge stack on the rear wing.
The house has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a three-window range. On the first floor, there are two 2-light metal mullion-and-transom leaded light windows set in chamfered stone surrounds, along with three pointed 2-light windows featuring Y-tracery and octagonal pattern leaded lights in the bay to the left. The ground floor has one 2-light metal mullion-and-transom leaded light window in a chamfered stone surround to the right, and the bay to the left is fenestrated like the first floor.
A six-panel door, which has a moulded stone architrave, is located at the center of the front. This door has a brass rim lock that is inserted flush and exposed on the external face. The bay has an opening to the cellar on the left, a shallow plinth, and a band course over the ground floor. There is a stone drip course above the ground floor and a timber modillion eaves cornice. The roof features three gabled dormers with 2-light leaded casements. The left return gable has stepped coping with a trefoil stop and a ball finial at the apex, which is matched on the end gable of the rear wing.
The interior has not been inspected. There is also a garden wall made of coursed limestone rubble, approximately 3 meters high with stone coping, which sets back slightly from the front wall of the house and continues eastwards for about 10 meters. A 20th-century plank door in an ashlar surround is located to the right, approximately 1 meter from the house. This house is said to possibly be on the site of St Cecilia's Chapel.
