The Fosse

The Fosse is a house built around 1825, possibly designed by Sir Robert Smirke. It features a stucco exterior and a fish-scale Welsh slate roof with a gable on the right. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a four-window range. There are three moulded cross windows with casements and octagonal bars, all set in moulded architraves. To the center right, there is a similar single light in a small staircase turret bay, with another similar light above it. The house has moulded quoins and a parapet topped with an ogee metal roof and a cast-iron vane.

Additional architectural details include a moulded cornice, balustrading, and coping with finials. The protruding porch bay features a moulded "Roman" arch with bands and a keystone, along with a balustrade that has moulded coping above. The entrance consists of two leaf, round-headed panelled doors, with one French window to the right and two to the left.

On the left side, there is a wooden conservatory with round-headed French windows under a semicircular arch, topped by a leaded Dutch gable with finials. The ground floor is brick, continuing to the front wall, which has a moulded stucco dwarf wall and piers with pierced finials. While the railings are missing, later wrought-iron gates remain. To the right, there is a brick wall with moulded stucco and concrete coping.
