Description
This is a two-storey house, originally one dwelling but now two separate units, numbered 10 and 10B, located on Coxwell Street in Cirencester. The main part of the house dates to 1640, with significant alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The construction consists of coursed limestone rubble, with cement render on the right-hand side (No.10). There is a Welsh slate roof on the right (No.10) and a stone slate roof on the left (No.10B), with gable-end stacks at the rear; the stack on the right (No.10) is brick, while the one on the left (No.10B) is stone. A carriage entrance is positioned centrally.
The front facade has a five-window arrangement with a single-storey and attic, one-window extension to the left. On the left-hand side is a 20th-century, three-light stone-mullion window with ovolo moulding and leaded lights, alongside a matching two-light window on the extreme left. To the right (No.10) are three timber casement and top-hung windows with glazing bars. The ground floor on the left has a 20th-century, three-light stone-mullion window with ovolo moulding, leaded lights, and a hoodmould. To the extreme left is a 17th-century, two-light chamfered stone-mullion window with leaded lights. On the right, the ground floor has a three-light timber casement window with a concrete sill.
A prominent, round-headed doorcase, featuring a band of rustication and a bold keystone under a dripstone supported on brackets, is positioned centrally. The doorcase is accompanied by a moulded plinth above the dripstone, with the initials “I P” and the date 1640 carved under brackets on either side. The 17th-century boarded and framed, round-headed six-panel door has a simple pattern of studs in the top two panels and has been repaired at the bottom. The interior of the property has not been inspected. The initials and date relate to John Plot, a lawyer whose house was pillaged by Royalist soldiers during the English Civil War.
