Frating Hall

Frating Hall is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, featuring a timber frame with red brick facing and extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building has red plain tiled roofs and a chimney stack located to the right of the front range. It stands two storeys high and has three vertically sliding sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor, which are topped with plastered gauged arches. There are French windows on the right and left, both with glazing bars; the left window is bowed and has segmental pointed heads. The central entrance features a two-panel, four-light door with a moulded surround, a lion mask patera, a flat canopy, and reveal panels. Internal features from the 18th and 19th centuries include six-panelled doors with moulded surrounds, acorn patera, a segmental arch leading to the hall, moulded fire surrounds, and moulded cornices. The heavy timber frame of the rear range has visible ceiling and stop-chamfered bridging joists.
