Siston Cottage

Siston Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with some modifications. It is built from roughly cut and squared Cary stone and features a thatched roof with stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The cottage has an L-shaped plan, is two storeys high, and consists of four bays.

The windows are a mix of timber casement styles; the lower ones are horizontal tar type, two-light windows set under reconstructed stone lintels. The outer bays have three-light windows that match, while the centre lights have been adapted, and there is no window in the upper bay two. Upper bay three features a two-light casement with an iron-framed opening light and rectangular leaded panes. The lower bay three has an early 20th-century part-glazed door set in an open timber and tiled porch.

There is a single-storey pantiled lean-to on the east gable, along with further extensions to the rear. The interior has been partly examined and includes a former oven and possibly a curing chamber in the east gable, which has been blocked up. There are several squared old boarded doors and frames, deep-chamfered cross hearts with rear-scroll runouts, and a chamfered timber board partition between the two front rooms.
