Former Farmhouse with attached stables and outhouse to North

The Old Farmhouse, along with its attached stables and outhouse, is a late 17th century house located on Baldock Road in Aspenden. The house features a timber frame set on a stuccoed plinth that steps down at the east end. It is roughcast with a steep hipped roof made of old red tiles. This two-storey building has a central chimney and a three-cells layout, facing south. The central stack is positioned a third of the way from the east, with a parlour to the east, a hall to the west, and a service room at the west end. The north wall has two openings and an oven projection aligned with the stack, while the staircase and passage are on the south side of the stack.

The south front has three windows on each floor and a door leading into the hall. The windows are flush casement style, featuring mullions, leaded glazing, and iron plate casements, with some having been renewed in wood. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams and exposed joists in the hall and service bay, along with a chamfered cross-beam in the parlour that has canted rear corners around a brick fireplace. An old moulded plank door with iron strap hinges leads to the staircase, which has classical balusters between two rails on the landing. A cyma moulded mullion can be found on a blocked window on the landing. The oak frame includes unjowled posts and a soffits-squinted butt scarf-joint with a secret bridle in the wallplate. This house is particularly noteworthy as a dated example of late 17th century timber-framed architecture.

The 19th century L-shaped stable is dark weatherboarded with a red pantile roof, and there is a lower weatherboarded outhouse extending to the east, which has a pitched roof that was formerly thatched but is now covered with corrugated iron. Together, the house and outbuildings enclose three sides of a yard to the north and create a picturesque roadside group with the barn nearby.
