Description
The Fox Inn is a public house that dates from the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries. It has a timber-frame core that has been encased and expanded with brick, featuring a painted weatherboarded bay and an old plain tiled roof. The original 17th-century structure is encased in brick, with a parallel range added to the rear in the mid-18th century, and a late 18th-century weatherboarded bay added to the front.
The road-facing side is two stories high with a three-window range. The center and left sections have a 20th-century enclosed timber and glass verandah in front of an 18th-century door, along with a door and window. On the left end, there is a 19th-century three-light camber-headed window. Above the verandah, there is a 20th-century single casement window and a 19th-century three-light casement window.
To the right, there is a projecting two-story wing that ends in a five-sided bay, all of which is weatherboarded. Each floor of the bay has a central window with eight panes by three panes, flanked by four panes by three panes, all within the same frame. The roof of the bay is conical, while the main roof is half-hipped on the right. There is a ridge stack behind the bay and another stack behind the ridge on the right.
Additionally, there are 20th-century single-storey bays at the left end and an 18th-century octagonal bay at the right end of the parallel range. On the front, there is a carved Feathers of the Prince of Wales mounted on an iron bracket, commemorating a visit by the Prince of Wales in 1780.
