Description

The lock-keeper's cottage, along with an adjoining former stable block and cottage, is located next to Foxton Bottom Lock on the Grand Union Canal Leicester Line. The cottage is constructed of brick, now rendered, and features a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and end stacks.

The east front of the cottage is two storeys high and has three bays. It includes a central doorway with a cambered arch and a 20th-century panel door. On either side of the doorway are single 20th-century three-light casements, also with cambered arches. Above the doorway is a smaller central window, flanked by two more single 20th-century three-light casements with cambered arches. To the north, there is a brick outshot.

The former stable block and cottage range are connected to the lock-keeper's cottage by a small, walled yard. This structure is also brick and rendered, with a pitched slate roof and a single ridge stack over the cottage. It is a single-storey building. The stable features a doorway with a plank door, flanked by single square windows. To the right, the former cottage has a doorway with a cambered arch and a plank door, with two cambered arch windows with 20th-century two-light frames to the right. The Leicester Line of the Grand Union Canal was engineered by Benjamin Bevan between 1810 and 1814.
