Description

Great Frampton is a house constructed with smooth cemented cladding over local limestone rubble. The main block is currently missing its roof, while the rear wing features a roof made of Welsh slate. The building has three storeys, along with a one-storey and attic rear service wing located to the north-west.

The front elevation has five bays and was restored in the later 20th century before a fire. It features a central modern Georgian style doorcase with a triangular pediment, although the door itself is missing. All former sash windows, which were three panes wide, are also missing. The elevation includes a parapet with coping and a ball finial at each end. The roof is absent, and there are gable stacks present. Each gable end has small flat-headed original window openings on the first and attic floors; the west gable additionally has a projecting 16th-century stair turret to the north, which has a single pitch roof and original openings for a stone stair. The rear wall has a central projection for an 18th-century stair with two openings for sash windows.

The rear north-west range has one-and-a-half storeys and three bays. The west elevation features sash windows with glazing bars and half dormer windows with sloping roofs, while the east elevation is similar. There is an end gable stack and a smaller central ridge stack, with the roof hipped at the north end.

The interior of the main block was completely destroyed by fire in 1994, leaving no features intact. Previously, the interior included six-fielded panel doors, door frames in an early 19th-century style with reeded moulding and angle roundels, and a stopped and chamfered doorway with an arched head in the north wall of the east room. There was also a massive stopped and chamfered beam in the first-floor rooms, and a stone staircase in the stair turret that originally connected to the first floor and attic rooms. A later rear, centre staircase projection included an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a ramped handrail, while the attic balustrade was in a Chinese Chippendale style. The southern end of the north-west wing is said to have stopped and chamfered beams, but these were not observed during the resurvey.
