Description

Frayne House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with significant remodelling and enlargement in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of rendered walls, likely over a stone rubble core, and has a gable-ended scantle-slate roof. The front features a wooden eaves cornice with widely-spaced paired dentils, and 19th-century red-brick stacks with chamfered corners and corbelled caps.

The building follows an L-shaped plan, comprising an early 19th-century three-room range parallel to the road (facing north), with external end stacks, and a wing to the rear of the right-hand end, containing an integral lateral stack. The staircase is located in the rear wing, behind the right-hand room. Later 19th-century alterations include the addition of bay windows and a porch. A short, single-storey wing extends from the rear of the left-hand end.

The front is asymmetrical with four bays. It has 19th-century margin-light sashes with cills. Two mid to late 19th-century flat-roofed square bays are located on the ground floor; the bay to the left has 2:3:2 lights and the one to the right has 3:5:3 lights. A mid to late 19th-century five-panelled door is set in the second bay from the right, featuring beaded-flush lower panels, a central moulded panel with a raised centre, and two leaded glazed moulded upper panels. The door is protected by a moulded architrave and a wooden Tuscan porch with two columns, pilasters to the rear, a frieze, cornice, and a panelled soffit. A 12-pane glazing bar sash window in the rear wing illuminates the staircase. The interior has not been inspected.
