Foxhole Farmhouse Including Outbuildings Adjoining To South

Foxhole Farmhouse and associated outbuildings date to the 17th and 18th centuries, with later additions in the 19th century. The main farmhouse is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with cob and rubble stacks topped with 20th-century brick, and has a thatched roof. The outbuildings are primarily of plastered rubble or cob on rubble footings, originally thatched but now with corrugated iron roofing.

The farmhouse has a three-room-and-cross-passage plan, with a service room on the left (west) end. The passage may have originally been a through-passage but is now blocked by a 19th-century staircase. A small, unheated inner room is also present. The hall features a projecting front lateral stack, and the service room has a projecting end stack. An original semi-circular newel projects to the rear of the hall. The front of the house has a late 19th-century, almost symmetrical two-window arrangement with casement windows featuring glazing bars, and larger ground-floor windows. A central 19th-century plank door leads to the passage. The outbuildings adjoin the projecting hall stack on the right (east) side; windows are late 19th-century casements with glazing bars. The roof is hipped to the right and gable-ended to the left.

Internally, the farmhouse retains a largely original and little-modernized 17th-century cob crosswall to the left of the passage. An oak plank-and-muntin screen is located on the right (hall) side, with chamfered muntins featuring scroll stops on both faces. The left room has an axial beam, and the hall has a cross-beam, both of which are chamfered with scroll stops. A blocked fireplace is in the left room, while the hall has a rubble fireplace with a soffit-chamfered and scroll-stopped oak lintel. The small, unheated inner room has no visible features.

The outbuildings, adjoining the right end of the farmhouse, comprise a rubble stable with a hayloft above, featuring a front door, an unglazed window, and a rear hayloft loading hatch; a cob barn with large opposed doorways and remains of short projecting midstrey walls; and at the far right, a rubble store with a blind front wall and an end entrance. The outbuilding roof is hipped at the end. These outbuildings are included in the listing for their group value with the farmhouse.
