Description
The Fox Inn is a house that has been converted into an inn, dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century. It was remodeled in the early 19th century and again in the mid-20th century. The building features a timber frame that is now roughcast and rendered on the front, with a gable painted black and white to imitate the timber frame. The roof is slate. Originally, the structure consisted of two or three framed bays with a projecting jettied gable at the center, which has since been cut back and underbuilt. There are early 19th-century flat-roofed additions on both the left and right sides.
The inn is two stories tall, with a late 19th-century casement window on the first floor of the gable and similar windows on the left and right. The ground floor beneath the gable has a horizontal sliding sash window with 20th-century shutters. There are 19th-century open-pedimented doorcases on both sides, with a six-panel door on the left and a boarded door on the right. A rendered stack is located on the left side of the building.
Inside, the left wall of the passageway, behind the boarded door on the right, reveals exposed timber framing with square and rectangular panels. There are remnants of a former external segmental arch, with the bottoms of two close-set vertical posts visible above. The roof of the passage features flat joists, and there is evidence of a former jetty at the rear. Most of the ceiling beams and the lintel of the inglenook fireplace have been boxed in.
