Wing Of Former Aston Old Hall Now Gamekeeper'S Cottage And Store

The building is a gamekeeper's cottage and store, which is a former wing of Aston Old Hall, altered in the late 16th century. It features pebbledash above a rendered brick flush plinth, with indications of an oak-framed structure beneath the pebbledash. The roof is made of graded grey slate, which was previously thatched. The cottage is two storeys high with four windows. It has a round-arched central opening and two doorways with boarded doors, one of which appears to be old, featuring broad boards on shaped wrought iron hinges. There are seven small-pane horizontally sliding sash windows and one replaced three-pane casement window. The left structural bay has a longer span than the others. Each gable end has a curved surface that is out of plumb, suggesting a warped oak frame beneath the pebbledash. The right gable is jettied above an oriel window that is now concealed in pebbledash. A watercolour in the Aston papers at Aston Lodge depicts Aston Old Hall with Elizabethan framing that includes the current gamekeeper's house and a main wing connecting it to the Dovecote.
