Description
Foxley House is a detached house with a probable 16th-century core and additions from the 17th, early 18th, and 19th centuries. The building features coursed rubble with some render on the rear and side walls, while the south front is made of squared and coursed dressed stone with ashlar dressings. The 16th-century range includes some wooden lintels, and the predominantly early 18th-century section has stone slate roofs with stone stacks and one brick stack at the west end. The house has an L-shaped plan, with the core range parallel to the churchyard and a south-west wing that reflects three different building periods.
The south front has two storeys and an attic, with five bays and a two-storey, one-window 19th-century addition on the left. The windows are late 19th-century wooden cross-mullions beneath cambered heads, and there are two 2-light dormers. A central glazed door is present, along with a moulded string course on the first floor. The rear elevations and core range feature late 19th-century casement windows.
Inside, the 16th-century range includes a winder staircase and a butt-purlin roof structure. The ground floor right-hand room of the early 18th-century section has raised and fielded panelling and wall niches.
