Description

Foxcote Farmhouse is likely of mid-to-late 17th century origin, with later additions and alterations. The construction is of roughly coursed limestone rubble, with brick eaves to the south side. The roofs are covered in stone slate, featuring coped verges to the west end and a hipped design to the east end of the main range. The original two-bay structure was extended to the east in two phases, with a short, gabled range added at right angles to the north, creating an L-shaped layout.

The south (garden) front has three chamfered mullion windows on the first floor to the original section and the first extension. The ground floor features late 19th-century canted bay windows with stone mullions on either side of a 19th-century gabled timber porch. This porch shelters a central half-glazed door with margin lights. C20 three-light casements with wooden lintels are found on each floor of the hip-roofed extension. A straight joint, slightly projecting and visible above and to the right of the entrance, marks the end of the first extension to the east. A rebuilt concrete stack sits on the ridge directly above this joint, with another rebuilt concrete stack integrated at the left end. There is also a cellar on the left end.

The north (farmyard) side of the main range displays three bays. It includes 19th-century casements and mullioned windows; those on the first floor are positioned directly below the eaves. A break-out to the left marks the first extension to the east. A roughly central 6-panel door, with the top panels now glazed, is sheltered by a 19th-century gabled timber porch. A projecting range features a C20 three-light casement on the ground floor to the left, and a 19th-century three-light casement above, both with wooden lintels. An infilled doorway is located to the right, with a narrow, fixed, leaded window in the angle above. An integral end stack has a rebuilt shaft. A 19th-century service range is attached to the hip-roofed extension and is constructed of rubblestone, with an integral red brick stack to the south and red brick to the north side.

Inspection of the interior was not possible during a resurvey in August 1987, but it is likely to be of interest.
