Description
Asterley Hall is a farmhouse, likely dating from the late 17th century, with significant alterations primarily in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick, with a roughcast rear wall that obscures a timber frame. It has a slate roof.
The front of the building has three storeys and a dentilled eaves cornice. It features a four-window facade, with mainly three-light casement windows from the mid-19th century, having cambered heads. The windows on the top floor of the first, third, and fourth bays from the left are blind. A cross-paned sash window and a 20th-century French window have been inserted on the ground floor of the third and fourth bays respectively. A plain six-panel door with glazed top lights is located in the second bay, sheltered by a 20th-century concrete porch. A prominent brick stack is visible in the roof slope between the third and fourth bays, and there’s a large, partially roughcast external end stack to the left. A single-storey range extends to the left, featuring a rounded corner where it meets the main house.
The interior is reported to contain timber-framed cross walls and an inglenook fireplace near the left-hand stack.
