Description
Badgers and Foxley Cottage is a pair of attached cottages that were formerly one farmhouse, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The cottages have stone walls that are plastered and washed, and they feature a thatched roof with attached gable ends. There is a 20th-century brick chimney stack on the ridge of Badgers, which backs onto the former cross-passage of the original house, while Foxley forms the cross-passage and original kitchen. The building is two storeys high and has four windows, which are three-light wooden casements, with two of the windows having glazing bars.
The porches are distinct: Badgers has a glazed porch with a pitched asbestos slate roof from the 20th century, while Foxley has a rendered porch with a square head and a slate gabled roof. Inside Foxley, there is a wide fielded-panel door and raised, possibly jointed crucks with large through-purlins. Three trusses remain, with a collar beam supporting the middle truss. The staircase features a mid-18th-century baluster rail at the top.
