Description
Little Foxes is a house with origins in the early 17th century, and a later front range dating to the late 18th century. The front range is constructed with a painted brick ground floor and a tile-hung first floor, topped with a plain tile roof. A moulded wood eaves cornice runs along the top. The roof is hipped, with hips returning along the elevations. The front has a regular pattern of two glazing-bar sash windows to each floor. A 19th-century canted bay window has been added to the ground floor, and a boarded door sits to the left. It is thought this front range replaced the end bay of the original rear range.
The rear range, which is located to the left, dates to the early 17th century. It is timber-framed with a ground floor of red brick in Flemish bond, occasional grey headers, and a tile-hung first floor. The roof is tiled and has a half-hipped section to the rear and a gable to the front. A prominent brick ridge stack is located on the right slope of the roof, near the front. There is also one hipped dormer window. The rear range is set at a right angle to the road and has irregular placement of three casement windows, with a fourth window on the side elevation of the front range. A short two-storey rear extension was added in the 19th century. The interior includes a large inglenook fireplace with stone jambs and exposed timbers.
