Frampton Place

Frampton Place is a large detached house located in the Golden Valley, with origins dating back to the early 17th century and early 19th century additions. The building is constructed from random rubble limestone, features ashlar chimneys, and has a stone slate roof. The central part of the house is two stories high with an attic, flanked by two-story additions on the east and west, creating a long range.

On the north side, the cross-gabled 17th-century house retains an original two-light recessed cavetto mullioned attic casement with a hoodmould. Below this, there is single-window fenestration with leaded iron casements, each supported by two timber lintels set one above the other, indicating some alterations to the openings. A chimney with a cavetto moulded cap is located on the west gable of the 17th-century house. The range was extended to the right in the early 19th century, featuring three-window leaded casement fenestration, all with timber lintels. There is a doorway below the left upper floor casement, which has a plank door and a gabled timber porch. The earlier addition on the left has a projecting chimney gable and a later outshut below with a lean-to roof.

The south side displays more original fenestration from the 17th century, with all windows being recessed cavetto mullioned and featuring hoodmoulds. The ground and upper floors have three-light windows, while the attic has two-light windows. The three-window west range to the left has mullioned fenestration, mostly restored, with two and three-light windows. A timber gabled porch mirrors the one on the north side. The east range has a restored three-light casement, with a leaded iron casement above it, also supported by a timber lintel. An outbuilding range returns to the north at the west end.

The interior has not been inspected, but parts of the building are believed to have medieval origins, although extensive rebuilding in the 17th century has likely removed much of the early fabric. The early 19th-century alterations are thought to have been carried out by the local architect Thomas Baker, whose initials and the date 1829 appear on an outbuilding.
