Description

Badger's Holt is a 17th-century building that has been modernised. It originally featured a central back-to-back fireplace and stack, which have since been removed. The upper part of the structure has a timber frame that has been infilled with brick, while the lower part is entirely brick and has been colourwashed. The building stands two storeys high with attics and includes two modern casement windows. There is also a modern extension attached to the property.
