Description
Nos. 1, 1A, and 2 Boxhedge Road are three houses built in two phases, originating from the 17th century and later remodelled in the 18th and 20th centuries. They are constructed from regularly coursed ironstone rubble and topped with Welsh slate roofs, featuring brick ridge and end stacks. The buildings are two storeys tall.
Nos. 1 and 1A have a four-window range, with a single-storey outshut attached to the left end that includes a casement window. There are two entrances; the off-centre entrance to the left has brick responds, a panelled door, and an overlight, while the entrance to the right has a renewed door. Both entrances are accessed via stone steps. The first floor features four renewed casement windows, all with wooden lintels. The ground floor has a plinth, and the rear includes a four-centred arched doorway that is now used as a window opening, complete with a hood mould and label stop. There is also a four-light stone-mullioned window with a hood mould and label stop, as well as a blocked doorway to the right. The first floor has renewed windows.
No. 2 also has a four-window range. It features a four-centred stone doorway that is now partly blocked, with a 20th-century window inserted. To the left, there are two 20th-century wood-mullioned and transomed windows with wooden lintels. A small re-set 14th-century window to the right has ogee tracery and a hood mould with label stops, alongside a 20th-century casement window at the far right. The first floor has three wood-mullioned and transomed windows and a three-light 20th-century casement, with all windows having wooden lintels. The roof level is lower to the right, as the upper courses of the roof are raised to the left, and there is a stone plinth.
The interior of No. 1 is noted for having chamfered beams and stone fireplaces. Photographs of the buildings are available in the National Monuments Record.
