Description
The Cross Foxes Inn is a two or more storey building featuring three windows and a storeyed porch. It is constructed from coursed, squared rubble masonry and has a steeply pitched slate roof with oversailing eaves, deep verges, exposed purlins, and slated bargeboards. The inn has stone stacks, with one rendered on the right, and slate water tabling.
The façade includes two gabled stone dormers with bargeboards and pendants. There is a modern window to the left and a two-light casement window to the right. The first floor has two-light, small-paned casement windows with deep slate lintels. A lozenge-shaped slate tablet at the apex of the storeyed porch is inscribed with "RR 1859". The ground floor features tripartite small-paned casement windows and four-pane fixed light windows on the sides of the storeyed porch.
A later timber outer porch sits on a stone base and has small-paned glazing, along with a black-and-white gablet and bargeboards. To the left, there is a low outhouse made of rubble masonry with a slate roof that has swept eaves and a lateral stone stack at the front. Above the doorway, there is a raking dormer. A modern extension runs parallel to the rear of the inn.
