Fox Cottage

Fox Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage with significant rebuilding and alteration in the 19th century, and renovation in the 20th century. It is timber framed and has roughcast rendered walls, with visible plastered clay bat, flint, and tarred brick foundations. The roof is thatched and slated, with a red brick ridge stack located to the right of centre. The cottage consists of a two-story main range with a three-unit lobby entry plan, and a two-story 19th-century rebuilding of a former kitchen range to the south, which retains its original gable end stack. There are rear outshuts, including a former dairy. The main entrance, on the left side, features a glazed panelled door and a 20th-century porch. The windows are 20th-century casements, with four on the ground floor and three on the first floor. Inside, the timber frame and floor frames are exposed, along with two open hearths with niches. The roof has side purlins, a ridge piece, and original torched plaster between the rafters. Early 18th-century two-panelled doors are also present.
