Frog Farmhouse

Frog Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, constructed from ham stone ashlar with a plain clay tiled roof that features stone slate base courses and stepped coped gables. It has brick chimney stacks at either end. The building stands two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay facade. The windows are ovolo-mould mullioned, set in wave-mould recesses without labels, with four-light windows in the outer bays and a three-light window in the upper centre bay. Some of the windows have iron-framed opening lights with curl stops and horizontal glazing bars. The lower bay two features a beaded architrave with base stops framing a four-panel part-glazed door, which is accessed by one step.

To the north gable, there is a set-back two-storey single-bay extension with a double Roman clay tiled roof and a brick chimney stack. This extension has no windows on the east front, but the north gable contains two three-light ovolo-mould mullioned windows in wave-mould recesses with square labels, while the south gable is plain. There is also a low single-storey extension at the rear. Although the interior was not seen, it is reported to have a roof frame of tenoned purlin construction, likely dating from around 1796 when significant renovations were made. The house is believed to have been the manor house associated with the Poulett family but was leased to the Brice family. It received its current name after 1811 when it stopped being the capital mansion, and the estate has origins that date back before 1246.
