Badgers

Badgers is a house that dates from the 16th or 17th century. It features a timber frame with rendered infill and machine-tile roofs, arranged in a roughly 'T' plan. The left part of the house has two storeys and includes a range of metal 19th-century casement windows in the roughcast gable end, with weathering above the first-floor window. The timber frame on the left-hand return consists of two framed bays that are irregularly jointed, with three panels to the wall-plate and a tension brace in the right-hand corner. There is a roughly central wall stack.

The right part of the house is lower and finished in roughcast, comprising one storey and an attic with three bays. It features two gabled dormers and two ground-floor windows, each with weathering: the left window is an early 20th-century sash, while the right is a late 20th-century casement. A ledged door is located between the two windows, and there is a large extruded local-type chimney with an extended shaft on the right-hand gable end.

Inside, the rear half of the cross-wing is subdivided by framing that runs longitudinally down the middle on the first floor. There are two doorheads, now blocked, in the framing at the junction of the left-hand and central bays of the main range, suggesting a former cross-passage.
