Aston Park Farmhouse

Aston Park Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with a wing from the 17th century, a parallel front range built in the early 19th century, and a west wing dating from around 1900. The construction is timber frame, with roughcast plaster on the exterior of the east wing (though the timber frame is exposed on the south gable). The hall range's ground floor is cased in red brick. The roof is covered with old red tiles, with yellow brick and slated sections on the front range and painted brick on the west wing, which is set back.

The house has two storeys and faces north, with a two-bay east parlour. A crosswing and later hall range are present, with a narrow chimney bay at the west end, possibly always of two storeys. The symmetrical front range of yellow brick has a central entrance and three windows across. Two front gables feature cusped bargeboards, and a gabled porch has pointed openings while hitch bricks form corner buttresses. There are two-light casement windows with brick labels and cast iron frames with pointed heads to the smaller lights. Wider, renewed canted bay windows with labels flank the porch on the ground floor.

Inside, exposed timbers are visible, particularly in the east wing, which has jowled posts, square section curved braces to a cambered tie beam and collar-beam clasped purlin roof with wind braces. The ground floor has heavy flat-laid joists, and the original doorway from the parlour to the hall remains. The hall range features angular jowled posts, slender curved tension braces, and a heavily framed floor with a chamfered and stopped axial beam. A cross-beam that had been added internally, in front of the chimney, has been removed, resulting in the narrowing of the west gable tie-beam. Squared floor joists are exposed. Part of the old north roof structure is visible from inside the house.
