The Mullions

The Mullions is a house located at the end of a row in Northleach with East End, dating from the mid-17th century, with renovations and some alterations made in 1985. It is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a stone slate roof, and features ashlar and 20th-century stone stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, which is illuminated by a three-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood in the left gable end. The facade is three bays wide with two windows. The ground floor includes a five-light double chamfered, hollow-moulded stone-mullioned casement, and there is a blocked two-light flat-chamfered stone-mullioned casement leading to the cellar below. Above, there is a 20th-century four-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casement and a 17th-century hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casement to the right, all featuring stopped hoods. The entrance includes a 20th-century plank door located off-centre to the right, which is sheltered by a gabled weatherboarded canopy with a stone slate roof supported by wooden brackets. At the rear, there is a flat-chamfered Tudor-arched doorway. The building also has 20th-century stone-mullioned casements and glazed double doors with glazing bars. The gable-end features saddleback coping with a pointed finial and lateral stacks, including a gable-end stack with moulded capping. Inside, there is a flat-chamfered Tudor-arched stone fireplace in the front left-hand room, which has a segmental 'tympanum' that is likely reused, spanning the width of the fireplace, with a shallow segmental shaped panel at the centre of the 'tympanum'. The cellar and other rooms have not been inspected.
