Description
No. 41 Benington Road is a house located in Aston village, dating from the 17th century or earlier, with a south wing added around 1980. The building features a timber frame with roughcast walls and smooth margins around the windows, topped with steep old red tile roofs. It is a two-storey structure made up of two parts that are angled along the roadside, with the new wing extending south from the eastern part. Originally, the house faced the road to the north but is now accessed from the south.
The western part of the house has an L-plan central chimney with a front rib and appears to be slightly older than the eastern part. The western room is likely a parlour, while the eastern range serves as a large service wing, which includes a later external chimney on the eastern gable. The western part features a three-light flush casement window on each floor of the western gable, along with a two-light and a three-light window on the northern side, and a single three-light window above the hall. The northern wall of the eastern wing has a two-light window on each floor, and the eastern gable includes a small window on either side of the gable stack.
