Description

The Cottage is a house located on Painswick Road in Matson, dating from the early 17th century, with a left-hand extension added in the late 18th century and later alterations. The building has been extensively restored in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick and a thatched roof, along with brick stacks. The structure has a rectangular plan, with an end stack and an axial stack, and the 18th-century extension also includes an axial stack. The exterior is one storey with an attic and has a three-window range. There are two mid-20th century half-glazed doors and 19th or 20th century wood casement windows, along with eyebrow dormers on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
