Rambler Cottage

PAINSWICK CHURCH HILL, Sheepscombe SO 81 SE (west side) 12/54 Rambler cottage 5.6.87 - II Small 2-room cottage. Early C18 with C19 modifications. Squared and coursed limestone, stone slate roof. Single storey and attic with 2-light chamfered stone mullioned casement ground floor, left, and in half-gable at centre over plank door. Left return has two small attic lights flanking the brick stack, and right return a 2-light chamfered mullion casement to gable, which shows line of an earlier roof profile. Interior not inspected, but door said to give direct to parlour which has a timber-framed partition wall, beyond which, at a lower level, is scullery; timber spiral stair. A modest agricultural cottage evidently unaltered since the C19, and an interesting comment on social change in the area.
