BURFORD AND UPTON HIGH STREET AND SIGNET (West Side) SP2512 (Enlargement) Falkland Hall 7/122 12.9.55
GV II*
Town house. c.1578, windows altered C18, altered again mid-C20. Coursed and squared rubble, partly on a moulded plinth; Cotswold stone roof, coped verges, miniscule ashlar end chimnies. The plan is lost due to C20 alterations, but Buckler's view of 1821 shews a fine central group of twisted chimnies and a blank area in the centre of the ground floor which may have been an entrance and hints therefore at a lobby entry. Tall-3 storey house with attic lit from end gables; no gables to front. 2:1:2 windows to front, the central feature is a stone 1st floor oriel bay with 1:2:1 hollow-chamfered 2-light mullions, finial, moulded cornice, plinth and corbel. Hollow-chamfered 2-light mullion windows to 2nd floor (single light in centre); C18 glazing-bar sashes on 1st floor in raised flat surrounds with cock-beads and keys, outer 12-pane, inner 16-pane, on ground floor, 2" pairs of similar (post 1821) windows flanking the central space below the oriel; outer doorways with similar architraves. Moulded string over ground floor raised up to plinth of oriel (this string is interrupted by ground floor window and door architraves. The house extends into Priory Lane (q.v. Nos 1 and 2 Priory Lane). North gable has small lights, South gable has remains of a large 1st floor window. Rear now shorn of its fine stair-turret, the resemblance of this turret to seigneurial types in the Loire region of France suggests that it may have also acted as a principal entrance - but given that access to the rear would have been easier via Priory Lane, this is most unlikely. Interior: ground floor ceiling removed for galleried shop-hall.
