CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT - Conservation Area No7: FRAMPTON ON SEVERN
Other local authority housing in the sub-area, fronting onto Bridge Road, has been rendered and painted.
Key buildings and focal points.
The key buildings in the sub- area are the crescents of the Oval itself. In spite of the estate being quite tucked away,
they are actually quite prominent in the landscape and can clearly be seen from the top of The Green in long range
views across the football pitch.
Other historic buildings in the sub- area contribute to the legibility of the Oatfield’s evolution. These are to found both
on Bridge Road and amongst the more modern development of Lake Lane. Chief among them is Lake House, situated
on the prominent corner plot. This is a very handsome but understated 18th/19th century house, fronted in an imported
brick that is too red to be true Frampton. However, the less showy elevations, and its highly typical side extension,
are of much more local materials. This is the product of a prosperous, but not overly wealthy, owner building a cosy
interpretation of the polite national style of architecture, a few notches above the village norm.
