Description
Fox House is an inn that has been converted into a house, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the late 18th century. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features wooden lintels, topped with a Stonesfield-slate roof and brick stacks. It has a three-unit plan with an added rear wing and an extension of the main range, standing two storeys high plus an attic.
The front facade has three bays on the left side that are older, while the five-window arrangement includes late 18th-century windows. The first floor features 12-pane sash windows, and the ground floor has 16-pane sash windows. The third bay has a wide opening that contains a 20th-century entrance. The steep-pitched roof has a gabled dormer over the earlier bays and three stacks. The masonry shows many signs of early alterations.
The rear wing, which extends from the left end, is taller and may date from the early 18th century. It includes a later canted bay window but retains segmental-arched windows on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected. The building has been recorded since 1682 and was known as The Fox Inn from 1701 until around 1914.
