Description
Asterton House is a farmhouse dating from around 1600, which was extended and remodeled around 1700, with additional later alterations. The building features rubblestone walls that likely conceal a timber frame, and it has random slate roofs with integral end stacks that have red brick shafts. Originally, the house probably consisted of three framed bays, later extended by a lower rubblestone section to the west, evident from the straight joint between the two parts.
The house has two storeys and displays three 19th-century casement windows that are irregularly spaced, with two on the main range and one on the lower portion on each floor. There are two entrances, one of which is beneath a 19th-century gabled porch.
Inside, there is a cross wall to the right of the main entrance featuring rectangular panelling from around 1600. To the left, there is an Inglenook fireplace with a massive beam above it. The original part of the house has stop-chamfered parallel beams and heavy unchamfered joists, along with flagstone floors. On the first floor, the bay divisions are exposed, indicating that the roof has been raised and previously included windbraces.
