Description
Lion House is a detached cottage dated 1829, located on the west side of High Street in Fretherne with Saul. The front is made of brick on a stone plinth, with rendered sides and a slate roof featuring brick end stacks. The building is a single range with a rear catslide and stands two storeys high. It has three bays with sixteen-pane sash windows that have painted keystones and large voussoirs. The central window is smaller, blind, and features a carved lion on the sill. The ground floor has similar windows, with a central door consisting of six flush panels, a shallow plain transom light, and a small projecting segmental wooden porch hood. Lion House is an early example of a style that has been widely copied in the area, yet it remains one of the few relatively unaltered cottages of its kind.
