Fron Farmhouse

Fron Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1692, with later additions and alterations, including a 1905 extension. The building is constructed of painted uncoursed limestone rubble with roughly dressed angle quoins and has slate roofs. It originally has an L-plan layout, with the 1905 addition located in the angle to the left.

The farmhouse has two storeys plus a gable-lit attic in the cross-wing of the 17th-century section. It features mainly early 20th-century casement windows, with one on each floor of the gable of the cross-wing and the gable of the 20th-century addition. The back wall has similar windows that are irregularly spaced across five different levels, including one that lights the staircase. The entrance is through an early 20th-century door located under a contemporary lean-to hood to the left of the cross-wing. There is an external end stack to the left of the main range and a large external lateral stack made of narrow red bricks and rubblestone on the cross-wing, with the tops of both stacks rebuilt in early 20th-century red brick. A contemporary red brick ridge stack is located at the rear of the 20th-century addition. The roof appears to have been reconstructed in 1905, featuring contemporary projecting double-purlin ends at the gables. An early 20th-century datestone reading "1692" is positioned at the apex of the cross-wing gable, while the date "1905" is carved on the tie beam of the 20th-century addition. Attached to the right wall of the cross-wing are 19th-century rubblestone outbuildings, which partly enclose the external stack and project to the front.

Inside, the front room of the cross-wing has chamfered spine beams with straight-cut stops and an infilled inglenook fireplace on the right wall. There is a 17th-century dog-leg staircase to the left of the passage in the main range, aligned with the entrance, which rises to the attic. This staircase features unusually carved splat balusters, a moulded handrail, and plain newel-posts.
