Cottage Immediately To West Of Egypt Mill

This cottage, located immediately to the west of Egypt Mill, dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It is one and a half storeys tall and constructed from Cotswold stone rubble with a stone tile roof. The north side features an ashlar chimney. On the south gable, there is a two-light window with a chamfered mullion and a drip, along with a partly moulded doorway below it. The west front has a tall blocked gabled opening, while the north gable end has a part-blocked doorway that now contains a cast-iron Tudor arch casement window. The east front includes a gabled half-dormer and a three-light window. The interior is said to date from 1840 and features a circular kitchen that resembles the tower at South Woodchester. It is believed that a similar tower once stood on this site and was encased in the current cottage, with the kitchen retaining rounded sides.
