Candlelight Cottage

Candlelight Cottage is a Grade II listed building located in Ashford Carbonell. This structure is a combination of three houses that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with a 20th-century rear extension. The cottage features two timber-framed bays set on a stone rubble plinth, along with a stone rubble extension to the left. It has a thatched roof, a projecting stone gable-end stack with an adjoining bread oven outshut, a brick upper shaft, a brick ridge chimney, and a projecting eaves chimney at the rear. There is a parallel extension at the back.

The exterior is single-storey with an attic and has a three-window range. The framed section includes tall rectangular panels supported by a girding beam and sill plate. On the right, there is a 20th-century two-light casement window, with a blocked door to the extreme right. The center features a restored three-light casement, and to the left, there is a two-light casement with a brick segmental arch, all fitted with lattice-leaded lights. The front entrance doorway is to the left and has a 20th-century door with a projecting tiled gabled open porch. Three thatched dormers with casements are offset to the right. The left return side has a 20th-century attic two-light casement. At the rear, there is a 20th-century casement window on the right with a timber lintel, and the framed bays are covered by a 20th-century rendered tile-roofed lean-to extension. The right return side displays square framing with jowled posts, straight braces, and a 20th-century plinth. The gable-end truss features a cambered tie beam, vertical struts, a collar, and twin raking struts, along with 20th-century casements.

Inside, there is a chamfered bridging beam with ogee-chamfer stops to the right, and the roof has a single trenched purlin. The central bay contains rafters and purlins made from unwrought spars. The internal truss frame consists of square framing with a straight brace, jowled post, cambered tie beam, vertical struts, and a collar.
