Farmhouse. Mid C19. Red brick in Flemish bond on limestone plinth; hipped slate
roof with red ridge tiles. 4 rooms, double-depth plan, each room heated by its own
prominent external end stack, that to the rear of the left-hand room with an
extension to accommodate a large kitchen range. Off-centre entrance hall with
stairs to rear. 2 storeys.
Exterior Front: 4 window range, symmetrical except for doorway. First floor
windows all 12 pane sashes, mostly horned, lintels at eaves level. Ground floor:
doorway set right of centre with double chamfered stone depressed 2-centred arch,
the panelled and half-glazed door deeply recessed. 2 windows to the left, one to
the right, all 12-pane horned sashes under depressed moulded stone window arches.
Rear: 3 window range, all sash windows with brick window arches except to dairy

horned sash windows to both floors. A limestone rubble barn adjoins the house to
the right.
Fox Hill is situated in a prominent position. It is a functional mid C19 farmhouse,
still in a traditional Georgian style but its interior plan is not designed around a
symmetrical doorway and there are gothic influences.
