Description
Broxford Cottage is a cottage built in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed from volcanic rubble with squared volcanic dressings and features rubble stacks topped with rendered brick chimneyshafts, all under a thatched roof. The building is L-shaped, consisting of a main block with one room and an entrance lobby facing south, and a service wing at the rear of the left (west) end. There are end stacks on each wing.
The cottage is two storeys high and has a one-window front featuring 20th-century replacement casements with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there is a three-light window under a segmental arch made of volcanic stone towards the right end, and a smaller two-light window on the first floor, both of which have shutters and are topped with thatched gables. A plank door is located at the left end, which has a stone-walled porch with a gabled and tiled roof. Each end corner of the cottage has rusticated chamfered quoins made of volcanic stone. A stack projects from the right gable end, and the roof is hipped to the right. The gable end at the rear and the short west side include a narrow single light on the first floor, also topped with a thatched gable.
