Description
Cotteswold is a house dating from the late 16th century, with significant restoration work carried out in the 20th century. It is attached to a row and forms part of a group with Cornerways and Neuholme.
The house is built of random rubble limestone, with timber framing, roughcast render, rubble and brick chimneys, and a stone slate roof. The south side partly displays upper floor timber framing running towards the road, featuring a large, rubble-built lateral chimney stack. It has mixed 19th and 20th century casement windows to the left, and a small, chamfered stair light. A gable end of a later addition projects forward to the right, with a single casement window. The east front shows a gable end with restored timber framing to the left, along with an original moulded bressumer, heavy stone corbels below the jetty, and a leaded cross window on the ground floor. The rear of the house has various additions creating two gables, with scattered and mixed window styles.
The interior has been extensively restored, but retains a large fireplace and some early plank doors.
