Description
Gable Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located on Church Street in Norton St. Philip. It is constructed of roughly coursed rubble made from Doulting stone and features a double Roman clay tile gabled roof. The left gable has an ashlar stone chimney stack with a string course and a moulded cap. The cottage has a large plain gable that extends off the eaves to the left. It is two stories tall with an attic in the front gable and has a two-window front with the entrance on the right. The entrance is topped with a flat stone hood slab supported by brackets and has a plain stone door frame. The windows are painted 2- and 3-light casements set in moulded stone mullion windows, all with drip moulds above. It is noted that Gable Cottage and Tudor Cottage may have once formed a single house.
