Description
Fretherne Lodge is a detached house that likely originated in the late 16th century and was later enlarged and refaced in the early 19th century. The building features a brick structure with part of the ground floor made from ashlar, a slate roof, and brick stacks, along with raised coped verges topped with finials. It has a small L-shaped layout with two storeys.
The south-east front displays a small central pediment with a blind quatrefoil and consists of five bays, four of which contain 16-pane sash windows. The ground floor windows are adorned with a nearly continuous hoodmould that intersects with a central doorcase, which has a semi-circular soffit, a plain fanlight, and a half-glazed door. The windows on the far right feature pentagonal stops, likely part of the original structure.
There is a plain unfluted Doric stone porch with an entablature that was dismantled at the time of the survey and is awaiting repair and reconstruction as of December 1985. The detailed external view was not accessible, nor was the interior, which is said to contain some moulded beams from the late 16th century and a 19th-century horseshoe staircase.
