Description
Fron Heulog is a medium-sized late Georgian country house, likely dating to the late 18th century, with service additions to the left and rear. The house is constructed of rubble, with rendered elevations and hipped slate roofs, and features 20th-century rebuilt brick chimneys. The front elevation presents a five-bay main block accompanied by a three-bay subsidiary wing set back to the left. The main section features a central entrance with fluted, engaged columns and pilasters adorned with acanthus capitals and a fluted frieze. Above the entrance is a segmental fanlight, and a 20th-century oak door with twelve panes. Elegant, unhorned recessed sash windows are present, with twelve panes on the first floor and fifteen panes on the ground floor. A hipped, slated verandah, supported by fluted wooden and iron pilasters on a raised, slate-flagged terrace, extends across the ground floor.
A later 19th-century, storeyed extrusion is set into the angle between the main block and the subsidiary wing to the left, with a moulded string course and cornice, and a flat roof. This extrusion features an entrance with a rectangular overlight and small windows to the left and above, while two 19th-century sash windows, each floor having six-pane upper and two-pane lower sections, are placed to the left of this, each with a moulded label and bracketed returns.
The south-facing elevation mirrors the front with similar single windows on both floors, a boarded door and window above a recessed range to the left, and a 20th-century rectangular bay with a six-part glazed upper section and hipped roof at the north. The rear elevation showcases a low two-story service wing to the left and a modern porch extension between this wing and the main block. A modern three-part window is on the ground floor to the right, and two twelve-pane sashes are above. An arched-headed, twelve-pane stair light sits above the porch. The lower wing's recessed entrance is flanked by a window and a masonry break, including a nine-pane sash window on the ground floor and tripartite cross windows above. A 20th-century lean-to adjoins the gable end of this wing.
Inside, the lobby hall features an inner entrance screen mirroring the main entrance, complete with fanlight and pilasters. A modest entrance hall leads to a staircase of a narrow well type, featuring a mahogany rail with scrolled ends, stick balusters of painted pine (some iron), scrolled tread-ends, and a returned first-floor balustrade. The stairwell boasts an arched stair light with fluted pilasters and archivolt. Ground-floor rooms feature six-panel doors, moulded architraves, panelled window shutters, and reveals. A window seat is incorporated into the front room on the left, along with a 20th-century carved oak foliated chimneypiece. The dining room includes fitted inlaid mahogany cases flanking a blocked fireplace, and a contemporary fitted chest of drawers with a cupboard to the end wall.
