Aston House Farmhouse

Aston House Farmhouse is a Grade II listed farmhouse dated 1662, with 19th-century extensions and alterations. The building is timber framed, featuring a plain tile roof and random red brick with a slate roof. The entrance front has a gabled projecting wing on the left, which is dated on the gable and showcases close studding, a middle rail, and passing tension braces. In the center, there is a later 19th-century triple-light window consisting of three sets of four panes, flanked by lateral windows with one set of four panes each. The first floor jetties out, supported by decorative brackets beneath a keel-moulded bressumer. This floor also has close studding with a middle rail and tension bracing, along with a three-light casement window from the 19th or 20th century in the center. On either side, there are moulded brackets supporting the jettied gable, which features a moulded bressumer and close studding. The date is painted in 20th-century script. The roof structure includes three pairs of purlins and one ridge beam. To the right of the gable, slightly recessed, are three bays of 19th-century brick, which contain ground and first-floor windows, all with four sets of four sash panes, stone sills, and flat-arched heads. On the left side, there is a massive chimney stack to the right of center, with a sandstone lower body that has a chamfered top and red brick above with offsets. To the right of the chimney, some close-studding is visible at the first-floor level, while the rest of the brick walling is painted to imitate timber framing.
