BURFORD AND UPTON HIGH STREET AND SIGNET (West Side) SP2512 (Enlargement) Cob House (Previously 7/111 listed as part of The 12.9.55 Vicarage).
GV II*
Formerly a wing of the Parsonage House, now a separate dwelling. Dated 1672, could be attributable to one of the craftsman in the Oxford-Wren circle, Christopher Kempster the local man being the favourite. Freestone front, chamfered quoins with rebated corners to upper floors, Cotswold stone roof, ashlar end chimney to right. 2 storeys; 3 bays. The main point of the front are the 3 pedimented features built up over the eaves, the outer triangular the centre segmental and dated, with moulded cornices and flat-edged blocked oval panels. Imposing 1st floor piano-nobile with architraves and cornices to stone cross mullion windows. The ground floor is really a basement or rustic, see the chamfered plinth and the less good quality stone. Mullioned windows in moulded architraves, perhaps a remodelling, note straight joint near South end; cellar grating. The South return is in coursed rubble, 2 blocked 1st floor windows with simple architraves, blocked oval in attic. Entered from single-storey extension to right built of ashlar, set at an angle and with a 4-panel door. The main roan of this building was a 1st floor roan now subdivided. The building formed originally the East wing of the Old Vicarage (q.v.).
