Lock keeper's cottage adjacent to Foxton Top Lock, Grand Union Canal Leicester Line

Lock-keeper's cottage adjacent to Foxton Top Lock on the Grand Union Canal Leicester Line, built in the early 19th century. The cottage is constructed of brick, which is now rendered, and features a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and end stacks. The east front has two storeys and three bays, with a slightly projecting central bay. There is a central doorway with a cambered arch and a 20th-century panel door. To the left and right of the doorway are single 20th-century two-light casements with wooden lintels. Above the doorway, there is a blind opening with a cambered arch, and flanking it are two more single 20th-century two-light casements. The Grand Union Canal, which the cottage is associated with, was engineered by Benjamin Bevan and completed in 1814.
