Description
Beckinsale Cottage and Dodge's Cottage are located on the west side of Broadwell Village Street. The house, known as No. 1 Lower Farm, dates from the early 18th century and was refurbished in the early 20th century. It is built from coursed rubble limestone with dressed quoins and window jambs, topped with a stone slate roof. The house features rubble stone chimney stacks on the left and center, with 20th-century white brick shafts. It has a lobby entry plan with a rear stair turret, is two storeys high with an attic, and consists of two bays. The windows are 20th-century three-light barred wooden casements with wooden lintels. The left bay includes a gabled roof dormer with a two-light casement, while the right bay has a small skylight. The central entrance is an old board door with a wooden lintel, and there is a blocked doorway in the right gable end. Attached to the right gable end is a small single-storey range of 19th-century former outbuildings. The rear of the main house has similar casements to the front, a door to the right, and a central gabled stair turret.
Dodge's Cottage, located to the left, is likely from the 17th century and consists of two builds. It is also made of coursed rubble limestone with a stone slate roof and a white brick chimney on the left. This cottage is one storey high with an attic and has two bays. The ground floor of the right bay features a 19th to 20th-century three-light barred wooden casement, a 20th-century half-glazed door, and a semi-circular oven projection to the right. The left bay has later 20th-century two-light wooden casements, and there are three gabled eaves-line dormers. All ground floor openings have wooden lintels. The left gable end has a door recessed behind a re-sited four-centred stone arch.
