Brotherstones

Brotherstones is a detached house dating to the late 17th century, with an early 18th-century addition. A later outbuilding has been altered in the 20th century. The house is constructed of random rubble limestone with ashlar chimneys and stone slate roofs. It is two storeys high, with a single-storey rear addition incorporating an attic, and an outbuilding at the north end.

The west front has a single-window arrangement. The ground floor features a three-light chamfered mullioned casement window; above it is a two-light window of the same style. To the right of the windows is a doorway with a chamfered opening, now fitted with a 20th-century glazed door. A tall ashlar chimney is located on the rear wing.

The interior contains remarkable features, including a fine classical fireplace in a rear room. This fireplace has a moulded square opening and an elaborate entablature mantel shelf with a complex cornice. A doorway displays a three-centred stone arch with moulded imposts and a decorative keystone, along with dressed stone jambs. The reason for such elaborate interior detailing in a small house remains unexplained. Plans and internal features are illustrated in "The unknown Cotswold village: Eastcombe 1500-1980" by M.D. Lambert and J. Shipman.
