Foxholes

Foxholes is a house with a core dating from the 16th or 17th century, featuring alterations from the 18th century and 20th-century additions including half-dormers and a porch. The building is constructed from rendered sandstone rubble, accented with black-painted stone dressings. It has a graded Kerridge stone-slate roof, complete with a stone ridge and a chimney made of brick and stone. The house is 1½ storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay front. The windows are three-light square-section stone mullions with iron small-pane casements, and there are 20th-century gabled half-dormers with wooden casements above. The central bay features an open stone porch from the 20th century, adorned with ball finials, leading to a studded, framed, and boarded door set in a stone rebate. Above the porch, there is a small two-light square-section mullion window with small-pane iron casements. The porch bears an inscription, M1547E, which may indicate the original date of the house.
