Description

Ashes Farmhouse is a farmhouse and cottage dating from the early 17th century, with deeds dating back to 1625. It is constructed of roughly dressed stone and features a slate roof. The building has a three-unit, two-storey layout. On the ground floor, there are three and five-light double-chamfered mullion windows, both of which have two missing mullions; the five-light window also has a hoodmould. The window in the house part has been altered, with a door inserted beneath its hoodmould. The original door, located between the second and third bays, has a flat hood. The first floor features three, two, three, and four-light double-chamfered windows, with a total of five mullions removed. The ridge and gable chimney stacks have been rebuilt in brick, and the left gable is coped. The rear of the building has various chamfered and flat-faced mullion windows, with several mullions also removed.

Inside, the house part has chamfered beams with stepped stops and has been subdivided. There are timber-framed internal walls and tie-beam roof trusses. An adjacent structure has a datestone that reads "IG 1633," and there is a grave slab for James Stock, Yeoman, dated around 169? in the garden.
