Description
Fogleigh House is a house dating from 1881, designed by James Hicks of Redruth for C.J. Pictor, a quarry owner. It is constructed of small ashlar blocks with ashlar dressings, and has fishscale banded slate roofs with red tile cresting. The house is elaborately carved in a Gothic style, with asymmetrical elevations.
The main fronts face south and west. The south front features an entrance tower rising to a hipped pavilion roof with iron cresting, and a large curved oriel at the end of the south front, paired with a canted bay. The oriel has an iron-crested curved pavilion roof, and the bay has a hipped roof. A moulded band, a first-floor sill course, and eaves are visible. The entrance tower has a Gothic arched porch flanked by buttresses, which carry a Pictor shield and monogram. Above the pointed arch is a carved group representing 'Industry', set into the base of a large canted oriel bay containing a 1-3-1-light mullion and transom window, with shield panels below. Above this is a long mullion and transom window breaking the eaves to a gable dated 1881. The pavilion roof has a band of lancet panels at the eaves. A range to the right has a large square bay with a hipped roof and 4-light mullion and transom windows to the front, with stylized leaf carving to the top lights. The east gable is coped, and there is an end stack. To the left of the tower is the side elevation of the west oriel bay, with a wallface stack and a single light with a transom on each floor.
The oriel bay on the west front is framed by buttressed walling with corbelling under the eaves course. On the ground floor, paired mullion and transom windows are positioned either side of a central buttress, leading to a large curved 5-light oriel with column shafts, transoms, cusped top lights and leaf-decorated heads. A corbel course is visible at eaves level, alongside a moulded cornice under the curved pavilion roof. To the left, a recessed centre contains a door and window under a large Gothic 3-light stair window with cusped heads and ringed shafts. A canted bay to the left has mullion and transom lights with square pilaster shafts to the lower window and column shafts to the upper window, corbelling, a moulded cornice, and a hipped roof.
The north side has a wall stack and an east end wall stack. A range beyond on the north front is two storeys and two windows, with 2-light upper windows and 3-light lower windows, with side wall and east end stacks. A former service range, to the east, is now a separate property called Crossways House and has been altered; it is not included in the listing.
The interior features an encaustic tiled floor in the porch, a timber moulded staircase with stained glass Pictor arms and initials in the stair light.
