Description

Frog Grove Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 17th century but was refaced in the late 18th century and extended around 1910. The exterior is made of red brick in Flemish bond, with tile hanging on the left return elevation. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, featuring a central gutter. There are stacks located to the left of the center and on the return fronts, with additional stacks at the rear.

The entrance front has two storeys and a cellar on the right half, with a plinth. The original front consists of three bays, now featuring later 4-pane lights. There are two windows on each floor, with smaller central windows on the first floor that are now blocked. A hipped roof porch from the early 20th century has sash windows over brick dwarf walls, and there are double doors with modern locks. A plaque on the first floor center displays the date 1798 and the initials CEM, with a Sun Life Assurance plaque fixed below it.

To the left, there is a one-window bay extension with glazing bar sash windows, featuring a 9-pane window on the first floor and a 12-pane window below. A single-storey extension at the left end has two more 12-pane sash windows under gauged brick heads, and three windows in the curved return end of the extension. The rear elevation has a plat band over the ground floor, with leaded casement windows on the first floor and a mix of sash and casement windows below. There is a blocked door with an arched head to the left on the ground floor.

Inside, the main ground floor room features deep brick fireplaces under wood lintels, including a fine fireback displaying the coat of arms of the Comte de Paris. The interior also has six-panel doors, a fine chamfered spine beam with lamb's tongue stops, and chamfered joists. Other rooms contain simple late 18th century or early 19th century fire surrounds, and there is a simple stick baluster staircase. The fine dairy at the rear has brick floors and arched recesses for wall slabs. The first floor retains 17th-century floorboards.
