Foxhall including adjoining Garden and Yard Walls to the SE and SW

Foxhall is a medium-sized country house of 2 storeys, built from local limestone with some sandstone dressings and a slated roof. The building dates from the late medieval or early Tudor period, with significant additions and alterations made during the 16th and 17th centuries, and further modifications from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The main south-east elevation features an L-shaped plan, comprising the former hall with an advanced, gabled solar cross-wing to the right. Both sections have rendered parapets, probably dating from the 19th century. The large early brick central chimney to the principal range is embellished with offset dentil courses and pilasters; further simple end chimneys are constructed of stone and brick.

The hall section has asymmetrical openings, with part-glazed late Victorian or Edwardian garden entrances to the left and right. The right entrance has a glazed conservatory extrusion set in the angle between the main block and the cross-wing. At the centre is a 4-light hall window with 20th-century casement glazing (each section of 6 panes) and an expressed timber lintel. Three 2-light windows of similar type occupy the first floor, with a blocked-up window opening between the central and right-hand examples. The left gable of the hall range has a late medieval or early Tudor end chimney with a projecting, slightly corbelled breast that tapers at the top with two sandstone bands; a later stone stack was added above. The steeper original roof-line of the hall range remains visible on this gable below the present raised pitch.

The cross-wing has a shallow, projecting 2-stage chimney to its advanced gable end, corbelled out at main floor level and flanked by primary slit lights, with putlog holes above. The lower original roof-line is similarly visible here; the stack represents a 19th-century brick rebuilding. A further slit light occupies the left return, now within the conservatory. Above this is a 2-light late medieval or early Tudor Perpendicular window with cusped lights, constructed of brown sandstone. The right return, facing north-east, features a 16th or early 17th-century Tudor-arched sandstone entrance with moulded jambs and broach stops at the base; the door is late 19th or early 20th-century boarded. A 19th-century 2-light wooden tracery window with multi-light heads is positioned to the left. The first floor has a 2-light mullioned window (20th-century) and a modern 3-light casement window to the right.

A 19th-century kitchen wing adjoins the cross-wing at right-angles to the right (north). This wing has a 5-light transmullioned wooden 20th-century window to its inner return and 2 wide segmentally-arched windows to its gable end, one on each floor. The ground floor window has 15 lights and the upper window has 12 lights (arranged as 3 sections of 6 panes each) with a central opening casement.

To the rear of the solar cross-wing, adjoining to the north-west, is a storeyed early Tudor kitchen wing. This has a Tudor-arched sandstone entrance to the left with a deeply recessed modern glazed door; an original vertical sandstone window to the left shows evidence of former ferementa. To the right is a large modern window with a cambered head. A large projecting lateral chimney formerly occupied this location. Beyond this is a further primary entrance with sandstone jambs and raised head, featuring a flat arch with rough voussoirs. To the right of this is another primary vertical light. Three modern windows occupy the first floor. The rear of this wing has 2 further similar original windows, one to each floor, with evidence for a further primary entrance; modern windows and modern French doors are positioned to the left. Extruded in the corner between this wing and the rear of the hall range is an early 20th-century storeyed extension with a canted ground-floor bay facing south-west and a 4-light window above.

The rear of the hall range features a probably 17th-century 3-light mullioned wooden hall window with modern glazing, and a 19th-century segmentally-arched 8-pane window positioned diagonally above.

Adjoining the hall range to the south-west, set back from the main facade and stepped-down (though flush with it to the rear), is a much altered one-and-a-half storey service range, essentially of late medieval or early Tudor origin. This range has basement slit windows and a rectangular sandstone vertical light to the rear (north-west) elevation. This rear side now has boarded loft doors and 2 small-pane 20th-century fixed windows, with 2 boarded doors to the front. An early 20th-century tunnel passage with a round arch has been cut through at the hall end. The range continues to the north-west, adjoining an uncoped rubble garden wall which runs at right-angles to the south-east, defining the main lawned garden on this side. This wall is probably 16th or 17th-century in origin and appears to sit upon a wide former terrace, standing to a height of approximately 1.80 metres and extending for some 30 metres.

Linking the gable end of the kitchen block to that of the 20th-century wing, and enclosing a small narrow court in an arc, are rubble walls with plain openings and 20th-century partial raising. Enclosing a narrow rectangular garden court and running from the corner of the latter wing parallel with the hall range to the south-west is another rubble wall, raised over an early 20th-century pointed-arched gate at the centre. At its end it adjoins a high rubble wall which stretches at right-angles to the west, forming an arc which defines the rear service court. This stretch of wall reaches a height of approximately 4 metres.

The interior contains chimney-backing on the entry plan with an inserted beamed ceiling to the hall. A fine Tudor-arched, moulded entrance opens to the rear of the former cross-passage, with a contemporary draw-bar hole. Set into the outer wall of the passage is a relocated triple-arched, moulded wooden screens partition, with round-headed entrances (the two to the right fragmentary). A stone corbel with a circular base, supporting a former wall post and bearing a simple decorative collar, survives in the hall.

The solar cross-wing has a 5-bay open roof of arch-braced collar truss type with large curved windbraces. The ground floor features a massively-framed late 16th-century ceiling with stopped-chamfered beams and joists. In the 16th-century kitchen wing, the wide segmental fireplace arch to the lost lateral chimney survives, constructed with dressed sandstone voussoirs.

Adjoining the building are garden and yard walls to the south-east and south-west, forming an important part of the property's setting and historical landscape composition.
