Description

Foxcovert Cottage North is a cottage, probably from the mid 17th century. It features a brick-nogged timber small-frame with some plaster panels and a thatched roof. The building has one storey plus attic bedrooms and three windows on the lower storey. There is a replaced door in a gabled porch, and the windows are 6 and 8 pane casements of 19th-century vernacular style. It also has two eyebrow dormers and one brick chimney on the ridge to the right of centre, with another on the right gable. The interior, which has not been inspected, is evidently altered but retains chamfered oak beams.
