Linden Lea

Linden Lea is a building located in Ashford Bowdler, originally two houses that have been combined into one. It dates from the 17th century, with a 20th-century extension. The structure features a timber frame with painted render infill panels and a thatched roof. There is a brick gable-end stack that has been encased by the extension, and the building consists of two framed bays with an additional extension bay at the west end.

The exterior is a single storey with an attic, facing gable-end towards the road on the east side. It has a 20th-century metal casement window in both the attic and ground floor, with a plain door to the left. Below the straight tie beam, there is large rectangular-panelled framing. The roof structure includes a collar and twin vertical-strut truss with a single trenched-purlin roof. The left and right return sides display large square framing that is two panels high, with posts, a girding beam, studs, and straight tension braces at each end. The south front has a 20th-century two-light casement window and a framed gable dormer to the left. The west gable end is obscured by the 20th-century single-storey and attic extension, which features painted render and painted brick, with a tiled roof. The interior has not been inspected.
