Description

Fron Isa Farmhouse at Fron Hall is a building constructed from white-washed rubble with a medium-pitched slate roof. The central stack features later brick upper courses, while there is a stone and brick end stack to the left. The main section has a projecting rubble plinth and modern windows throughout. To the left, there is a recessed entrance with a modern part-glazed door and modern windows flanking both storeys. On the right, a near-flush entrance has an early 19th-century wooden surround with a cambered head and a contemporary boarded door, providing access to the former parlour. Above this entrance is another modern window, and to the left, there is an 8-paned steel-framed window. A flight of 13 stone steps on the right leads to a room above the former parlour and to the first floor of the cart house extension, both featuring cambered heads and contemporary boarded doors. The cart house has a wide entrance with a segmental arch and stone voussoirs, along with a modern window above and ventilation slits at the rear ground floor. Set back to the right is a later single-storey cart house, which has a wide opening with a modern wooden lintel and a brick floor. At the rear of the main section, there is a modern brick storeyed extension to the right and an early 19th-century projection with a catslide roof to the left.

Inside, the former parlour has a heavy beamed ceiling with well-crafted chamfered and stopped details. A similar main beam is found in the service room, which has an original entrance to the parlour featuring chamfered and stopped jambs and a 4-centred-arched head, along with a 19th-century boarded door. The former hall has a wide inglenook, now reduced in depth, with a breastsummer that was recut segmentally in the early 19th century, and it features reused ceiling beams.
