Description
Fox Meadow is a small house dating from the late 17th century, with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries, and alterations made in the 20th century. The building features plastered cob walls and a hipped thatch roof, with a brick axial stack and another stack at the rear right-hand corner.
Originally, the house had a two-room plan, with each room heated by an end stack. The position of the stack in the right-hand room suggests it may have been added later. The left-hand end of the house was previously an outbuilding and is likely either integral to the original structure or an 18th-century addition. A 19th-century outshut has been built behind the left-hand end. In the 20th century, the partition between the original two rooms was removed.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical five-window front. The four right-hand windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor to the right are Victorian two-light casements with diamond leaded panes. To the left on the first floor is a 20th-century two-light small-paned casement. There are four later 20th-century one and two-light casements on the left-hand side of the front, which was formerly an outbuilding. The house features two slate doorhoods at the center and right of center, with 20th-century plank doors below and a 20th-century glazed door to the left of center. At the left-hand end of the front, there is a full-height recess infilled with 20th-century casements. The 19th-century outbuilding outshut is located behind the left-hand end.
Inside, the left-hand fireplace has a rough wooden lintel, while the right-hand fireplace features a chamfered wooden lintel and a cloam oven. The interior has rough, fairly insubstantial axial beams, and the roof trusses consist of rough, insubstantial straight principals, likely from the late 18th or 19th century.
