Foxgrove

Foxgrove is a house with flanking service ranges, now functioning as a house. It is likely a 17th-century longhouse that was refronted in the mid-18th century, with later alterations. The building features dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings and rubble, topped with clay pantile and concrete interlocking tile roofs. It has two storeys and originally consists of three bays. The house has an ashlar plinth and chamfered rusticated quoins. A central flat-roofed porch, dating from around 1955, includes a 9-pane fixed-light window set in a chamfered rusticated quoined surround, which was probably adapted from the original main entrance doorway; the current entrance is located in the right return of the porch. The house has 16-pane sash windows in chamfered rusticated quoined surrounds, with monolithic lintels that are dressed to resemble voussoirs; the central first-floor window is blind. The building features shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, along with end stacks. To the left, there is a range of rubble with a clay pantile roof and two first-floor windows, which are modern casement windows, one of which has a 17th-century cornice. To the right is a former stable, which is not of special interest. At the rear of the main house, there is a 24-pane square-headed landing window in an ashlar surround with crown glass. Inside the main house, the ground-floor room to the left contains an 18th-century ashlar fireplace surround with a pulvinated frieze and cornice. The first-floor room to the left features a mid-18th-century fireplace with stone cheeks and wrought-iron bars in a moulded ashlar surround, also with a pulvinated frieze and cornice, along with the upper part of a stone dogleg staircase.
