Description
Foxes Barn Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Bridgemere Lane in Hunstanton. The building features a timber frame with whitewashed brick infill and brickwork, topped with a plain tile roof that was originally thatched. It is a single-storey structure with an attic and follows a baffle entry plan.
The entrance front has six by two cells of small framing on a projecting plinth, with a doorway on the right and a two-light window to the left. To the right, there is a renewed 20th-century brick wall painted to resemble timber framing, which includes a two-light casement window. Adjacent to this is a 20th-century addition featuring a two-light cambered-headed window on the left and a lean-to on the right. The cottage has gabled dormer windows, with three-light on the left and two-light on the right.
To the left of the main house is a 19th-century cart shed that has a stable door on the left and two single-light 20th-century windows on the right. Above the cart shed, there is a two-light gabled half-dormer window. The cottage also has two ridge chimneys, one on the left and one on the right.
Inside, one ground floor room features chamfered ceiling beams with end stops and an ovolo moulded wall plate visible internally. There are also two ingle-nook fireplaces, each with chamfered bressumers.
