Description
Foxdon Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse located in Witheridge. It features a roughcast exterior over a rubble core and has a slated roof with 19th-century brick stacks. The building is designed in an L-shape, with a front range that includes two large rooms on either side of a central staircase hall. There is a wing at right angles to the rear left, which contains three service rooms, including a heated kitchen and pantry.
The exterior is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays. It showcases very large 16-pane sash windows that have slender glazing bars and exposed sash boxes. The central entrance features a six-panelled door and a later gabled brick porch with a segmental arch. The rear left wing has two-light casements and two large horizontally sliding sash windows.
Inside, the hall boasts a fine dog-leg staircase with a turned newel, stick balusters, and a moulded handrail. The interior also includes early 19th-century joinery such as doors, architraves, window shutters, and fitted cupboards. There is a mid-19th-century chimneypiece in the left ground floor room, and the kitchen and pantry have large stone setts.
