Fairford House and Balustrade to Front

Fairford House is a detached house with a balustrade in front, likely built in the mid-18th century on the site of a house belonging to the Tame family, who constructed the nearby church in the late 15th or early 16th century. The house features an ashlar front made of coursed rubble stone and has a hipped stone slate roof with a parapet and a moulded modillion cornice. It has stone stacks with offsets and moulded cornices. The building is arranged in a double range of two storeys with attics on the sides.

There are five windows on the upper floor, which are 12-pane sashes, with the central three projecting beneath a wide shallow pediment adorned with modillions. A plat band runs below these windows. The ground floor has four similar windows and a central stone doorcase topped with an open pediment and a row of small dentils. The doorcase features pilasters with fluted capitals and guttae, and a round-headed soffit with a decorative radial fanlight above a recessed six-panel door, where the upper four panels are recessed and the lower two are flush. The parapet and cornice extend along the returns of the front range.

On the left-hand return, there is a single-storey 19th-century square bay. The rear range has been altered in the 19th century, including a matching parapet and cornice. In front of the house, a stone balustrade creates a square forecourt, featuring moulded stone balusters with flat coping and panelled square piers approximately every 2.5 meters, with openings at the centre front and on each side.
