Description

Fronlas is a 1½-storey farmhouse located on the north side of a farmyard, featuring a two-window layout and a lofted outbuilding range to its left, all under the same roof. The building is positioned against steeply rising ground at the rear, raising the ground floor about a metre above the farmyard level. Access to the house is via a flight of steps leading up to a slate landing at the front door, while the outbuilding has corbelled stone steps leading to its door on the left.

The house follows a lobby-entry design, with a stone stack and door located to the left. It is constructed from uncoursed large quasi rubble masonry, topped with a roof made of small slates and a tile ridge. The main door is a 20th-century semi-glazed type, accompanied by two 20th-century casement windows, which appear to have altered openings. Above these windows are paired metal lights with six or twelve panes set in dormers. There is also a paired casement window in the right gable. The agricultural range adjacent to the left of the house features a tall heck door on the right and another heck door at yard level on the left, along with a small window. The left bay of this range has double doors, and its loft is timber boarded.

The agricultural outbuilding is constructed from smaller quasi rubble, with its left (west) gable restored in brickwork and its rear wall made of rubble stonework. Lean-to annexes in brickwork or metal sheeting, covered with slates or asbestos sheeting, are located at the rear (north) and right (east) of the house.

The interior of the house has not been seen. The range to the left includes a central barn floor with low divisions on each side, as well as a workshop in the west bay.
