Property Build Type

This property is a Cornish Unit house and these were designed as more permanent homes, using precast reinforced concrete components rather than conventional brick or Bath stone construction. The Foxhill estate includes Cornish Unit houses characterised by precast concrete ground-floor walls and distinctive tiled upper storeys. These were built during the wider redevelopment of Foxhill in the 1950s and 1960s.
