Foxhall Cottage - Foxhall Cottage is the original farm cottage, whose datestone above the porch reveals that it was constructed in 1864 (not listed). It lies some distance from the farmhouse and has been renovated by the current owners. Many of the original features have been preserved including Yorkshire stone flags in the hall and quarry tiles in the utility room. The slate roof with timber frame has been replaced, mortar in the external masonry renewed, and many original doors and floors stripped.

The spacious, open plan kitchen/dining room is a family space that features solid oak units and worktops with a marble-topped island.The sitting room enjoys outstanding views and has a wood-burning stove. Downstairs, there is a shower room next to the utility/boot room with quarry tiles and ceiling-mounted clothes pulley. Upstairs are four large double bedrooms and a new house bathroom with a four-piece Villeroy & Boch suite that includes a walk-in shower and bath. Access to the loft via a pull-down ladder in the landing. The loft is boarded and, with its generous height, offers potential to develop subject to the relevant planning consents.

The cottage lies behind a low stone wall with a good-sized lawn and, further to the west behind a tree-lined hedge, an extensive grassed area with a free-standing cabin currently used as a home office. A 5-bar gate secures the drive, which is able to accommodate several cars. In addition, there is a car port.

Outside - Outside, a gravelled drive at the rear of the property provides plenty of parking space. The house itself is encircled by its own gardens and grounds, predominantly laid to lawn and with outstanding views in all directions. Timber decking stretches the full width of the front elevation, positioned to take advantage of the glorious open views and to provide ample space for alfresco entertaining. There is a hot tub on the decking and a 10-metre above-ground swimming pool on the south west elevation of the house.
