Description
Nos 23 and 24 Lower Wraxall are a pair of cottages that have been combined into one house. They date from the late 17th century and were renovated in the 1970s. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and stone stacks. It is a single-storey structure with an attic and has three windows.
The front includes a planked door with a gabled canopy and a 2-light ovolo-mullioned casement window to the left, along with a 3-light ovolo-mullioned casement, a glazed door, and a 3-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement window to the right. There are three full attic gables, each with 2-light ovolo-moulded or hollow-chamfered mullioned casements. A lean-to structure is attached to the right side of the building. The rear windows were replaced in the 1970s.
Inside, the cottages have blocked open fireplaces with timber lintels, and the ceilings feature chamfered beams with stepped or run-out stops. The roof has a four-bay collar truss design. The renovation was carried out by The Wiltshire Buildings Trust.
