It is the location of the manorial Foxdenton Hall and its grounds, Foxdenton Park.
There were several working farms remaining in Foxdenton until the late 2010s. The commencement of the Broadway Green housing development will, however, see the area become more suburban in character. The farmhouse at Foxdenton Farm is a grade II listed building.
Early 19th century gazetteers described Foxdenton as a village in the township of Chadderton.
