Fox Hill

Fox Hill is a manor house built around 1909 by J.L. Ball. It is constructed of coursed, squared, and dressed limestone with flat coped gables, stepped out at the eaves and featuring openwork finials at their apex. The building’s design resembles a flattened 'X' shape in plan. There are two diagonal ashlar chimneys projecting from the facade on the right side, a rectangular ashlar stack from the left ridge, and a central, two-flue ashlar stack from the left ridge, with a round-headed arch between the flues. All chimneys have moulded tops. A flat-roofed extension exists at the gable end on the left, and a 20th-century prefabricated building to the right is not of listed quality.

The main entrance is flanked by two wings and features a projecting two-storey porch with a parapet decorated with two ball finials, a sundial with strapwork surround, and a string below. Behind the porch lies the principal gable. Downpipes on the main body are marked with Roman numerals, and the rainwater heads on the main facade bear the letter "M" (1909). Rainwater heads on other facades are marked with the initial "H." The central 20th-century round-headed double door, within a round-headed surround with imposts and a keystone, features spandrels with rose decoration against a square lattice background. Flanking the porch are two Doric order columns supporting a frieze with strapwork decoration and a segmental pediment with a central cartouche surrounded by rose decoration in relief.

The fenestration is irregular, featuring two and three-light, flat-chamfered, stone-mullioned windows, some with transoms. Ground-floor windows have flat hoods, and all windows are fitted with 20th-century casements with leaded panes. Two bull's eye windows, each with four keystones in the surround, are positioned at first-floor level, flanking the central two-storey porch. A single-story extension to the left has rusticated quoins with a parapet and vase finial.

Limited internal inspection has revealed some plasterwork ceilings.
