Fox Ghyll

Fox Ghyll is a 18th-century building that was altered in the 1870s and was the home of Thomas de Quincey. The exterior features roughcast walls and a slate roof, with two storeys. A wide gabled porch has ogee Gothic glazing, and there are early 19th-century small-paned sash windows, with a shallow gable in the center and twin diagonal chimneys above the gable peak. A round chimney is located at the left end of the building. To the left, there is a wing that extends at right angles, featuring a front gable and an early 19th-century sash window on each floor. At the rear, there is a service wing. The garden front displays three large 24-paned sash windows on each floor in a newer section, along with two sash windows on each floor of the older section. A rear block includes a small three-light wood-mullioned casement, likely original, and a round chimney.
