Foxworthy House and Foxworthy Cottage

Foxworthy House and Foxworthy Cottage are a late medieval farmhouse, with 19th and 20th century additions and subsequent subdivision. The original building, and a left-hand extension, are thatched at the front and have corrugated iron at the back, while a right-hand extension is covered with tarred slates. The main structure is built of large-scale granite rubble, with ordinary granite rubble in the upper sections. A 20th-century extension on the left is rendered. The house originally had a two-room and through-passage plan, likely with a hall to the right and a kitchen to the left. Early winding staircases are located in a turret at the rear of the passage and beside the hall stack; it originally appears the hall was open to the roof. Large granite stacks with tapered tops are present in each gable of the medieval portion, while the 19th-century extension has brick stacks, and the 20th-century extension features an imitation 16th-century stone stack. The façade comprises three windows for the original house, and two windows for the extension to the right. The windows have 19th-century wood casements, with leaded panes in the older sections and glazing-bars in the newer extension. Inside, the hall appears to have an internal jetty, now plastered over, and previously contained a tie-beam truss which was cut to create a doorway. Remaining portions of a stud-and-pane screen, with chamfered studs featuring run-out stops and a doorway with a rounded head, are visible near the passage. A fireplace in the gable, notable for a hall, has a plastered wood lintel. The top two steps of the staircase are made of solid wood blocks. The kitchen fireplace has a chamfered wood lintel with step-stops, and incorporates an oven at the rear. The staircase at the rear of the passage contains granite steps, leading to a pair of chamfered wooden doorframes with cranked heads. One early plank door with strap-hinges is present, along with a similar door featuring scratch mouldings, which has been reset. Roof timbers are plastered and inaccessible. A barn and converted linhay situated in front of the house are listed separately.
