Description
North Frith Farmhouse is a farm manager's house built around 1856. It features English bond brickwork, which includes many burnt headers that create a banded appearance. The house has brick stacks and chimney shafts topped with a couple of original cream-colored octagonal chimney pots, and it is covered by a pantile roof.
The house has a double-depth plan and faces south, with a front and back room on either side of a central entrance lobby and main staircase. The service rooms are located at the rear, with the kitchen on the left (west) side, which has a projecting rear end stack. The principal rooms are at the front, with the left room featuring an axial stack and the right room having a gable-end stack. The house is two storeys tall.
The exterior has a symmetrical three-window front, mostly consisting of horned 12-pane sash windows, with a central first-floor 9-pane sash. The central doorway features a part-glazed four-panel door with an overlight, situated behind a gabled brick porch with a Tudor-style outer arch. The two front gables have wavy bargeboards, and the main roof is gable-ended. The side walls maintain the same style, although there are a few 20th-century casements on the right (east) end and at the back.
Inside, the farmhouse retains original joinery details. It was constructed alongside the adjoining farm buildings and oast, creating an attractive model farm.
