Foulstone

This is a house, now divided into four separate residences. It dates back to 1655, as indicated by a datestone, with significant alterations in the 18th century and 19th centuries. The house is constructed of roughly coursed rubble and has slate roofs. It is three storeys high, originally with three bays, featuring a central projecting gabled bay, and later extended to the west and east with two-storey, two-bay additions. The central bay is distinguished by quoins and a ball finial. A dripcourse is visible on the ground floor of the centre part, returning to the west and interrupted by a sash window with glazing bars and horns in the first bay. The third bay originally had a three-light double-chamfered-mullioned window, now missing one mullion and containing an inserted sash window with small-paned glazing, alongside a fire window to the right. The first floor has a sash window with glazing bars in the first bay, while the second bay features paired sash windows with single glazing bars and round heads within chamfered openings, complete with label moulds. The third bay retains a four-light double-chamfered-mullioned window, missing two mullions, with a label mould. The second floor has two single-chamfered-mullioned windows, originally with one blocked light to each, now with small-paned glazing in one and bull's eye panes in the window of the third bay. The entrance has a round-headed design with panelled pilasters and archivolt, leading to paired panelled doors, with an inner door featuring a moulded opening, label mould, and studded detailing. Large gable-end stacks are a prominent feature. A lean-to conservatory is attached to the west extension, alongside sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor and a partially glazed door. The east extension has a sash window with glazing bars and horns on the ground floor and small-paned windows on the first floor, one of which is pivoted. A porch with pointed and flat arches shelters the entrance. The rear north side includes a gabled wing with a gable-end stack, a four-light double-chamfered-mullioned window with a label, and a three-light window on the first floor; an entrance is situated to the right, topped by a large overlight. The west extension features sash and pivoted windows with glazing bars, a slope stack, and a small gabled wing with a flag roof and a pointed entrance. The east extension includes a long window with small-paned glazing and bar holes, and on the first floor, single- and two-light doubled-chamfered-mullioned windows, as well as a long single-storey wing terminating in a bellcote. A lean-to canopy extends along the east side of the wing. The west return features an entrance and a larger entrance to the right. Inside, the house reveals a stone staircase with iron balusters and rail, and a large segmental-arched fireplace recess with masons' marks.
