Description
The Old House is a building with origins in the 17th century, but largely of early 19th century date. It is situated on the north side of Frenchay Common, in Winterbourne Frenchay. The house is built with roughcast render, freestone dressings, and has pantile and slate roofs. It is three storeys high, with a three-window front. A central flat-roofed porch has pilasters and a cornice, and contains a margin-glazed door. The windows are sash windows; those on the ground and first floors have 16 panes of glazing bars, except for the central ground floor window which has 12 panes. Second floor windows are 6-pane sashes. Long and short chamfered quoins are present, along with a moulded cornice and a shallow pediment with a blank oculus. The house has two-storey wings, with the wing to the right recessed and filled at the angle by a conservatory.
Adjacent to the house is a two-storey stable block with a hipped roof. It has arched doorways with voussoirs and a framed pitching eye. This leads to a two-storey, two-window coachman's house with a pitched roof. All these buildings are set behind a two-metre-high coped wall with square piers that have moulded capitals. Group value is evident due to the cohesive grouping of the house, stables, and coachman’s house.
