Oxfootstone Farmhouse

Oxfootstone Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th or 17th century, with later additions. It is timber framed, featuring rendered wattle and daub infill and pantiled roofs, and has a cross wing plan. The east gable of the south range is made of brick and displays a diamond pattern of burnt headers. There are four blocked windows and two blocked brick cross casements in the gable head. The gable has a parapet on kneelers and an internal stack with twin elongated hexagonal flues. The north wall of this range shows remains of pargetted panels and includes one 19th-century casement. The south aspect features a jettied cross wing to the west, with 19th or 20th-century casements and sashes. An outshut has been built to the east of the cross gable. The west range is gabled with a central ridge stack, and there is a brick outshut on the west facade, with all windows dating from the 19th or 20th century. The interior of the farmhouse is notably unaltered, retaining much 17th and 18th-century carpentry and joinery. The main range has its original clasped purlin roof, while the roof of the cross wing was not inspected, though large arch braces to the tie-beam were observed.
