Cottages and attached barn. C18, possibly an adaptation of an earlier building. Coursed hammer-dressed stone with stone slate roof. The rear is brick and there are signs of timber framing. The two cottages are on either side of an arched carriage opening to Ashworth Hall. The barn adjoins to the right, has two full-height cart openings with a lean-to between them, a cow house in the right hand portion which extends to a wing at the rear with a hay loft above. Elevation: The central studded oak doors have a flat arched opening with recessed spandrels, ovolo-moulded surround and large hoodmould. To either side is a cottage of two bays with casement windows and square cut lintels and sills and doorways with monolothic jambs. Stone quoins and ornate ball finial. C17-style, cavetto moulded mullion windows (possibly re-used) concealed on left gable by lean-to additon, exposed timber framing to carriage entry (probably of earlier date). The barn has circular pitching holes with moulded architraves, vent slots, stone quoins, a king-post roof and owl holes in the gables.
