Description
Foulton Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is roughcast rendered and has a roof primarily covered with handmade red clay tiles, alongside some machine-made tiles. The building consists of four bays aligned approximately northeast to southwest, with inserted stacks against the southeast and southwest walls. An 18th-century parallel range is located to the northwest, which includes one axial stack, one internal stack against the northwest wall, and one external stack at the southwest end. There is also a 20th-century single-storey extension beyond this range and a small single-storey lean-to in the southern angle. The farmhouse is two storeys high.
The current front elevation, facing northwest, has a scattered arrangement of windows. On the ground floor, there is one early 19th-century sash window with 12 lights, and on the first floor, there is a sash window with 16 lights, both featuring crown glass. The entrance has 20th-century glazed doors set within a hipped porch. The northwest range has a hipped roof, while the southeast range features gablet hips at both ends. There are shaped sprockets below the eaves of both ranges. The southwest range includes jowled posts and chamfered transverse and axial beams with broach stops, some of which are boxed in. It may also have an underbuilt jetty to the southeast, although the central tiebeam has been removed. Much of the structure is concealed by plaster, and the roof has not been inspected.
