Description
Fox House is a house that was formerly a public house, dating from the early 16th century with alterations made in the 18th century. It has one and a half storeys and attics, featuring a lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that includes gabled thatched casement dormers. There are gable and axial chimneys made of red brick. The house has 19th-century two-light small-pane casements and a boarded entrance door. The left end of the house is a two-cell early 16th-century open hall house that has been significantly altered. A diamond-mullion window is located in the rear wall of the hall, passing through the inserted first floor, with its head being the wall-plate. An axial chimney has been inserted into the hall, and the house was extended to the right in the 18th century.
