Foxwarren Cottage

Foxwarren Cottage is an estate cottage built around 1860, with later additions from the late 20th century. It was designed by Charles Buxton, with F. Barnes as the supervising architect. The cottage is constructed from red brick in header bond, featuring contrasting black brick headers that create a diaper pattern, and has moulded terracotta dressings. The roof is made of plain tiles, embellished with decorative bands of pointed and fishscale tiles, along with crested ridge tiles.

The architectural style is Jacobethan, characterized by a chamfered plinth, a pointed arched entrance, and windows that include moulded mullions, segmental-headed lights, vertical glazing bars, some diagonally-leaded lights, and hoodmoulds with decorative stops. The building also has brick corbels beneath cogged eaves, steeply-pitched gables with gableted crowsteps, and a large central chimney topped with six clustered octagonal flues, which have cornices and replacement terracotta pots. The later additions match the original style.

The cottage has an irregular plan, consisting of one storey with an attic. The entrance elevation, facing south, has two bays. The left bay features a porch and a three-light window, with a two-light gabled dormer above, both adorned with cusped bargeboards. The right bay projects forward and includes a four-light window on the ground floor, a two-light window above, and a quatrefoil in the gable. There is an added porch at the angle with the spine range.

The rear elevation mirrors the front, but the left side has a pointed arched recess with blind, stepped slits instead of a door. Attached to the right end is a low single-storey L-shaped range that runs parallel to the cottage. The right return has a six-light window with a three-light window above and a quatrefoil in the gable. The added porch features a decorative iron gate. On the left return, there is a corbelled hipped-roofed four-light oriel window on the ground floor, with a two-light window above and a quatrefoil in the gable. A late 20th-century single-storey addition is attached to the left side of the cottage. The interior has not been inspected.
