Foxcombe House

House, built in 1786 for Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh, and rebuilt in 1939. The 1939 construction is galleted clunch with red brick dressings; it has a plain tile roof. It is two storeys with an attic, and comprises five bays by three bays. Features include a brick plinth, plat band, eaves band, quoins at angles and to openings. The symmetrical facade incorporates five stone steps leading to a part-glazed, small-pane door set within an architrave and topped with a console-bracketed pediment, flanked by eight-pane sash windows. Above the door, and to the outer bays, are segmental-arched tripartite windows with twelve-pane sashes to the centre, flanked by four-pane sashes, and twelve-pane sashes to the other bays. A parapet is present with brick-quoined recesses and stone coping. The mansard roof has four flat-roofed dormers with twelve-pane sashes and a brick stack on each side. The right return continues the style of the front, with two part-glazed doors and two dormers; the left return has a central panelled door and fanlight set within an architrave, with console-bracketed canopy, a blind left bay with a blind first-floor window opening, and one dormer. A Venetian window is located to the rear. The interior features a curved stone stair with decorative iron railings, panelled doors, and decorative fireplaces. Cellars retain a fragment of 18th-century brickwork. The house was built on the site of Castle Farmhouse, built in 1786 and demolished in 1939. It is said that some of the stone used in Castle Farmhouse came from an earlier house (Ladywell), and some of the stone in the present structure may be reused from Castle Farmhouse. The west front has a doorway with pilasters, a flat hood on brackets, and a semi-circular fanlight.
