Description
Foxholes Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick with a slate roof featuring coped verges, carved stone kneelers, and stepped external end stacks. The building has two storeys, marked by a floor band, and a dentilled eaves cornice and corner pilasters. The symmetrical front has three windows, with late 19th-century casement windows. These windows have segmental heads on the ground floor and are blind in the centre of the first floor. A central entrance is accessed via a four-panel door (the top panels now glazed). The remains of a former gabled hood are visible above the door.
