29 And 31, Main Street

Two houses, located on the south side of Main Street, Great Oxendon. They date to the late 17th century and the 19th century. The houses are constructed of squared coursed lias stone with slate roofs. Number 29 was originally designed with a two-unit plan. It is two storeys high with an attic, featuring a two-window front with casement windows under wooden lintels. A small window with a stone surround is located to the right of the first floor. Ashlar gable parapets and kneelers are present, with brick stacks at the ends. The left gable displays two single-light windows with moulded stone surrounds. A 19th-century extension to the rear provides an entrance. The interior of Number 29 retains features such as an open fireplace with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops over, and chamfered and stopped ceiling beams. Stonework within the fireplace is reputedly from Braybrooke Castle. Number 31, attached to the left, is a single-unit plan, two storeys high, and has a two-window front with 20th-century casement windows and a brick stack at the end. The interior of Number 31 includes an open fireplace with a dated, chamfered bressumer inscribed "1679/W.I.". The properties were once used as the Rectory.
