The Fox And Hounds Inn, Attached Cottage And Outbuilding And Railings To Front

The Fox and Hounds Inn, along with an attached cottage and outbuilding, is a public house dating from the late 18th century, with an extension added in 1828 and further alterations in the late 19th century. The original building is constructed of dressed limestone at the front and squared limestone at the rear, while the extension features hammer-dressed sandstone at the front and squared limestone at the rear. The roof is made of pantiles with brick stacks, and there are painted cast-iron railings at the front.

Originally, the building likely had a two-cell, gable-entry plan, with a right range added later, along with the cottage. The 18th-century section has a two-storey, two-window front, with a lower two-storey, two-window extension to the right, and a two-window cottage and outbuilding at the far right. The original building features painted tooled quoins, 16-pane sash windows with painted stone sills, and flat arches made of tooled voussoirs with keystones. It has a stepped eaves course, coped gables, and shaped kneelers, with end stacks.

The inn extension has 20th-century doors on either side of two squat 4-pane sashes with painted tooled sills, and similar renewed windows on the first floor. The ground-floor openings have painted tooled lintels. There is a mounting block beside the door on the left. The cottage has a board door to the left of two-light, 16-pane horizontal-sliding sashes, all with painted lintels and painted tooled sills; the first-floor windows are similar but lack lintels. The outbuilding features painted tooled end quoins and a door with six recessed panels next to a 12-pane sash window. The extension has a stepped eaves course and stacks positioned centrally left and right of centre.

The railings consist of two sets of area railings, approximately one metre high, raised on a low stone plinth, featuring turned standards and egg finials.
