Description

26 Lower Wraxall is a late 17th century and 18th century building that consists of three cottages now combined into one house, with alterations made in the 20th century. The structure is made of coursed rubble stone and features a Bridgwater or asbestos tiled roof, along with stone or brick stacks. It has an L-shaped plan and is two stories tall with a four-window south front.

The entrance includes a four-panelled door, with two 3-light ovolo-mullioned casements to the left and two 2-light casements, one of which is in a blocked doorway. On the first floor, there are two 2-light casements on the right side, while the left side has a single-storey range with a rooflight. The right side facing the lane has a blocked doorway, 20th century casements, and a first-floor cyma-mullioned casement. The rear of the main range features 2-light ovolo-mullioned casements, a 20th century casement, and a blocked doorway. The rear of the wing includes 3-light cyma-mullioned casements, 20th century casements, and a half-glazed door, with an additional 20th century door on the north gable end.

Inside, the property has chamfered beams with stepped or runout stops and an open fireplace in the main range, which has a chamfered lintel on stone jambs.
