Description

Foxhole is a pair of cottages built end-to-end, constructed from rubble masonry and whitewashed. They feature a pitched slate roof that is closely cut to the eaves and verges. Each cottage is single storey with a loft and consists of two window bays. Each has a central boarded door set in a stone pointed arch, flanked by small pane casement windows, which are also within openings that have similar pointed heads. The front roof pitch includes two rooflights.

There are three tall stone stacks with water tabling, which carry late 19th-century terracotta flues. The shafts of these stacks are moulded with basketwork and have octagonal moulded heads. The right end elevation has two small windows, with the one on the right retaining its original stone lintel. Both cottages feature small paned glazing, and there is a similar small window on the left end elevation. The rear elevation is blind and has a retaining wall against the hillside, with a modern passage cut along the back.

The cottages were not accessible at the time of inspection, but an earlier inspection noted that the internal layout of the kitchen and living room remains largely intact, with rubble partition walls.

Local climate

Foxhole sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,660 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 3 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 99% of listed buildings. Of these, 1 follows at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
