Aston Cliff Farmhouse

Aston Cliff Farmhouse is a farmhouse that appears to date from the 17th century, with some mid-19th century window features. The timber frame is concealed, and the building is constructed of red and blue brick arranged in a header-2 stretchers-header pattern, with some headers vitrified. It has a plain tile roof.

The farmhouse has an 'L'-shaped plan, with the 'hall' range aligned east-west and a cross-wing at the east end that projects to the north. It is a baffle-entry type that has been extended and converted. The building is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic and features a dentilled eaves cornice. The window arrangement is 1:2, with three-light casements under brick flat heads. The right-hand range has been bricked up and painted to resemble window bars, while there is a range of windows in the return of the cross-wing and a range on the now-blocked west gable end. A gabled Victorian porch covers a roughly central four-panel door, which dates to around 1830 and is numbered 205. There is a stack slightly to the right of the door and another ridge stack on the cross-wing. The rear of the farmhouse has a blocked doorway that is slightly off-set to the left of the chimney axis, and the east gable end was rebuilt in late 20th century red brick.

Inside, the farmhouse features deep chamfered spine and cross beams with broach stops, as well as chamfered joists. There is an inglenook fireplace in the hall and re-set oak panelling at the east end of the room. The large chimney area also accommodates a newel stair that leads from the kitchen next to the front doorway. The cross-wing includes a ventilated cupboard and exposed square panelling on the staircase, which has plain oak stairs.
