Freeford House

Freeford House is a house that dates from the 16th century or early 17th century, with a main range added in the early 18th century. It features a combination of brick and timber-frame construction, topped with tile roofs and brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with the gable facing the front to the left. It has two storeys and a four-window range. Notable architectural details include brick platt bands, a top cornice, and coped gables. The entrance, located to the right of centre, has a panelled doorcase and a six-panel door. The segmental-headed windows have brick sills and two-light casements. There is a large stack at the rear of the ridge. The right return has windows with two-light casements, and a three-light casement in the attic; the wing features a dressed stone plinth with square framing and brick infill, with two-light casements on each floor and two stacks. The rear includes a gabled stair wing with a tall casement window. The site was previously home to a leprosy hospital dedicated to St Leonard, established by the mid-13th century and abandoned around 1496.
