Description

Badgers Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior, featuring weatherboarding on the first floor at the front and a red brick ground floor on the left-hand return front. The building has a steeply-pitched plain tiled hipped roof and a central low brick ridge stack. It follows a baffle entry plan and has two storeys with a two-window front, showcasing various wooden 19th-century casements. The central entrance is a boarded door set in a simple wooden surround. At the rear, there is a deep catslide roof. Inside, the substantial timber frame is visible, with chamfered beams on the ground floor and a large stack that has chamfered bressumers on both sides on the ground floor.
