21 Fromefield

21 Fromefield is a house that dates back to the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The building is made of roughly coursed local rubble stone, featuring brick stacks. The 19th-century façade on the front elevation is rendered, and the roof is covered in Roman tiles. Originally, it was a two-storey single-pile house with a two-room layout and a central staircase at the rear. There is a two-storey rear wing from the mid to late 17th century, along with additional two-storey and one-storey sections added in the mid to late 19th century.

The principal (west) elevation has three bays and is an early to mid-19th-century re-fronting with a raised parapet wall. Behind this façade are two late 19th-century dormer windows, each featuring a hipped roof and finial. The symmetrical front includes a central six-panel door, with the upper two panels being glazed, situated beneath a flat hood supported on corbels. Flanking the door are sixteen-pane hornless sash windows, although the left ground-floor window has been replaced with a plain glass shop window beneath a hoodmould. The side (north) elevation features a ground-floor shop window and a set-back entrance to the shop, while the first floor has a blocked early to mid-17th-century two-light flat-faced stone mullion window beneath a stone hoodmould with label stops.

The slightly set-forward two-storey rear wing has a truncated gable end stack and two mid to late 17th-century cross windows with ovolo mullions and transoms, also beneath hoodmoulds with label stops. The rear (east) elevation includes a central gabled bay that forms the rear stair tower, with a 19th-century two-storey gabled wing to the left and a single-storey gabled addition in the centre that appears to be late 19th-century.

The interior has not been inspected.
