Fox Holes Farmhouse, Attached Farmbuildings And Linking Walls

Fox Holes Farmhouse, along with its attached farm buildings and linking walls, dates from the mid-19th century. The structure is built from deeply coursed, squared gritstone with a horizontally tooled finish, and features stone slate roofs, although some have been replaced with 20th-century cement tiles. The design is E-shaped and reflects a 'castle' style.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-bay central block, with the middle bay projecting forward. The wing walls are set back and connect the house to the gabled farm buildings. The main entrance to the house is at the rear, and all front walls are topped with embattled parapets. The windows are wood casements with glazing bars and hoodmoulds. The projecting central bay has a three-light window on the ground floor, with a band and a similar window above it.

The projecting square corner piers are decorated with three blind cruciform arrow loops and extend up into turrets. The flanking bays, which are set back, feature small single-storey projecting blocks at the angle with the central bay, each having a small window; the left window has been altered. There is a band with a window above on the side bays, and similar corner piers with two blind loops.

The low flanking link walls each have a central boarded door beneath a stone bracketed ledge. The attached farm buildings have single-bay gables, each with a central arrow loop beneath a window that has a projecting sill and bracketed ledge; the left window is blind. The corner piers of these buildings match those of the main range, and the gables are also topped with embattled parapets.
