Foulscales

Foulscales is a house, likely built in the early 17th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The building features a three-unit plan and stands two storeys tall. The early windows are small and have chamfered mullions that are flush with the wall. On the south wall, the left-hand unit has a four-light window on each floor and a blocked door with quoined jambs to the left of the first-floor window. The central unit originally had a three-light window, which is now blocked, and to its right is a tripartite window from around 1800 with square mullions. A six-light window is located on the first floor of this unit. The right-hand unit has a reconstructed window that was formerly two lights, and on the first floor, there is a blocked window, with a later 17th-century two-light window that is rebated and chamfered to its right. On the ground floor, there is a door with a re-set triangular head and plain stone jambs.

Chimneys are present on the right-hand gable, positioned between units two and five, and between units one and two. The latter chimney has a moulded cap with embattled coping. The west gable is rendered and features what appears to be a garderobe projection, supported on two stone corbels, with a slated top. The north wall includes windows of four lights, two lights, and two lights on the ground floor, and three lights, two lights, and one light on the first floor. To the left (east) of the main structure is an outshut with an external stone stair leading to a first-floor doorway in its right-hand return wall. The north wall of the outshut has a two-light window on the first floor, with a reconstructed one-light window to its right. The door to the right has chamfered jambs and a cemented lintel, while an inner door features chamfered jambs with a triangular head.

Inside, the middle room contains an 18th-century shouldered fireplace with a moulded mantel. The west room has exposed ceiling beams that are all chamfered and stopped, with the main beam supported on stone corbels. The rough opening of the garderobe projection is now visible from a later stair.
