Froyz Hall Farmhouse

Froyz Hall Farmhouse is a house that dates from around 1500, with later additions from the late 16th century and early 19th century. The older rear block is timber framed and plastered, with some of the framing exposed, and it has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The front block, added in the early 19th century, is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and has a slate roof.

The timber framed section runs north-south and features an axial stack at the south end, which now faces east. There is a single-storey lean-to extension on the northwest side. The early 19th-century section is L-shaped, facing south, with a rear wing to the west of the timber framed range and an internal stack on the west side.

The south elevation has two windows in the early 19th-century style, with one window having 10 + 10 lights and another with 8 + 8 lights above the door, all set in segmental arches and featuring much crown glass. The central entrance is a six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, flanked by plain pilasters and topped with an open pediment. The roof is low-pitched and hipped.

The timber framed range includes a 19th-century sash window with 12 + 12 lights on the ground floor and another sash window with a side-light on the first floor. There is also a six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, situated in a 20th-century enclosed gabled porch. The front features a long jetty, partly underbuilt with painted brick, and above the jetty, curved braces are trenched outside the studding, with a blocked unglazed window near the right end. The right end has a gablet hip, and the main stack has concertina shafts that have been rebuilt.

On the rear elevation, there is another long jetty that is also underbuilt. This section includes two bays from around 1500 on the right, which contains a single upper chamber with a cambered tiebeam and long arched braces, likely not originally built for domestic use. To the left is a short chimney bay from the late 16th century, which is also jettied. This bay features an unusual wood-burning hearth that faces left into the later brick building, with convex sides and a fireback made of terracotta bricks, each bearing the arms of James I. Above this, there is an extra plaque with shaped sides and a design of rose-like flowers.
