Frenchay House

Frenchay House is a house, now functioning as a rest home, built in 1772 with a rear that was rebuilt in the early 19th century and a large extension added in the 20th century. The building features ashlar stonework, some rendered areas, and slate roofs, arranged in an L shape.

The front facade includes three windows in a two-storey canted bay, all of which are glazing bar sashes. Each ground floor window is adorned with a finely carved mask keystone, rusticated end pilasters, a modillion cornice, and a balustrade. The garden elevation has two windows beneath the same balustrade, featuring plain architraves. The ground floor also includes a large Venetian window with Gothick tracery.

A plain rendered extension with a parapet has three additional windows, while the heavily restored porch has a fibreglass pediment. There are three more similar windows in the wing and four additional windows with a similar porch in the 20th-century extension.

Inside, the ground floor room in the main wing has a plaster ceiling, likely created by Thomas Stocking, featuring delicate trailing flowers. This room is probably the former music room, with motifs in the bay that include a flute and drum.
