Description
Fox Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed from roughly coursed and banded limestone and marlstone rubble, featuring alternating angle quoins, and has a stone slate roof with coped verges. The building has two storeys and a gable-lit attic, with a three-window front. The 18th-century leaded casements have chamfered wood lintels and stepped ogee stops on the first floor, while the ground floor features wedged voussoirs. The central door is a 20th-century half-glazed design, also with wedged voussoirs. The house has integral ashlar end stacks with moulded dripstones and capping. A small paired lancet window, believed to have come from the demolished Kingham Manor House in the 1920s, is located in the right gable end attic. At the rear, there is a two-storey lean-to on the left with a late 20th-century flat-roofed extension attached, which is not of special architectural interest, and a 19th-century single-storey gabled range at right angles to the rear on the right.
Inside, there is a central cross passage. The right ground-floor room features two chamfered cross beams with run-out stops, an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel, and the position of an oak winder staircase that survives from the first floor to the attic. The left room has a plastered spine beam, cornice, and wood dado rail. The first floor has chamfered ceiling beams and a collar truss roof in three bays, with double butt-purlins in the attic.
