Badbury House

Badbury House is a house from the mid-18th century, possibly built on an earlier structure. It features an ashlar-fronted red brick exterior with a slate half-hipped mansard valley roof and rear stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a formal front that has five windows, a plinth, a band, and a moulded eaves cornice. The windows are twelve-pane sashes set in moulded architraves, with the first-floor windows being smaller. There are three sloping dormers. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door in a moulded architrave topped with a pediment supported by brackets. The north end wall is made of red brick and has a fine moulded brick dentil cornice, while the south end wall is also red brick but features a roughcast gable, an ashlar band, and a fine moulded brick modillion cornice. The interior has not been inspected. Historical records indicate that the house has been documented in deeds since 1620. It was a malting house in 1690 and continued to be recorded as such until 1817. The property was owned by the Ring family, who were blacksmiths from 1703 to 1766, the Rutty family, who were farmers from 1766 to 1817, and the Tayler family from 1817 to 1884.
