Fox House

Fox House is a farmhouse that was part of a former longhouse, likely built in the third quarter of the 17th century. A date of 1631, along with the initials I.W., appears on a rack above a built-in cupboard, suggesting it may have been imported. The building is constructed of rubble and has a rendered front with a stone-flagged roof. The north side facing the road is mostly blank, featuring only a plain boarded door. The main south front has two storeys and three bays, with a half-glazed four-panel door in the right bay replacing a former window. There are also two and three-light stone chamfered-mullioned windows and a small fire window on the left, along with end chimneys.

Inside, the ground floor retains a heck partition and chamfered beams and joists, although the fire beam has been renewed. A door from the house-place to the parlour is flanked by original panelled oak built-in cupboards, with the right cupboard being dated. The lintel of a blocked doorway from the former through-passage is still visible. There is an 18th-century north extension that includes a lobby and dairy, which conceals a boulder plinth and a blocked window from the original two-cell house. The former downhouse has been converted into a separate dwelling but has been altered too much to be of interest.
