Description
The Fox and Hounds Inn is a detached public house that dates from the mid-17th century, with later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building features chalk-block walls set on a rubble-stone plinth, with two-thirds of the structure rendered on the right side. It has slate roofs with gable ends and brick stacks, including one at the left gable, two along the ridge, and one at the right gable. The inn is two storeys high and has four windows: three are 3-light stone mullions at the left end, while the remaining windows are sash windows with glazing bars, each with separate returned labels from the former 17th-century windows above. There is a weather-boarded plank door towards the left end, which dates from the 19th century, and a 20th-century door towards the right end. Inside, the inn features deep-chamfered ceiling beams that are compartmented, reflecting its 17th-century origins.
