Description
The Fox Public House is a public house built in 1936 by A.E. Hobbs for W.H. Brakspear and Son. It features red brick, tile-hanging, and timber-framing with brick nogging, topped by a clay plain tile hipped roof with low eaves. The building has tall brick axial stacks with corbelled brick cornices.
The structure is one storey with an attic and has a three-bay southwest front. The central bay projects and is tile-hung, with the main roof extending over a porch on the left and flanking hipped dormers. The doorways on the left and right are set back. The northwest side includes a large timber-framed oriel with herringbone brick nogging above a seven-light window that is also corbelled out. At the rear, there are flat roof dormers in hipped roofs and an outbuilding projecting on the left. The windows are casement style with leaded panes.
Inside, the pub is intact and complete, featuring exposed ceiling beams and joists, panelling, brick fireplaces with tile arches, panelled doors, and timber-framed bar counters with herringbone brick nogging and curved bracing above. The staircase has a panelled balustrade, and the first-floor rooms also include brick fireplaces with tile arches.
