Porch House and Porch Cottage

This is an early 18th-century house, likely dating to the 1720s, retaining characteristics of the Cotswold architectural style. It is two storeys high with attics. The construction incorporates a mix of ashlar stone and well-crafted rubble. The roof is covered in stone slates with coped verges and saddle stones, and features square ashlar chimneys with moulded capping. The house exhibits a symmetrical design, with Porch Cottage serving as an extension to the left. The outer gables each have three windows, while the central section has three additional mullion and transom windows, with drips above the ground-floor openings and on the centre of the first floor. The first floor of the outer gables has glazing bar sash windows within eared architraves, and three-light mullioned windows with cornices in the gables. The design evokes the work of Talman at Northwick Park. A doorway is located to the right of the central section: it is Tudor arched, with imposts and moulded spandrels, slender engaged Tuscan columns with entablatures, a heavily moulded cornice, and a half-glazed door. A sundial is positioned above the doorway. Gabled projections extend from the rear. Porch Cottage, the two-storey extension, features a range of two-light mullion windows and has a modernised gable and window arrangement.
