Description
Old Ash Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It has a timber frame that has been refaced with brick at the rear and replaced with brick at the front, which has been heightened. The original returned brick gable end remains. The building features pantile roofs and stands two storeys high with an attic. The facade consists of four regular bays with replica 2-light mullion and transom windows, mainly set in 18th-century openings. The ground floor openings, one of which is blind, are beneath skewback arches with cambered soffits and a black header pattern. There is a sawtooth cornice present. The east gable end, dating from the 17th century, is constructed in English bond, has crow-stepped detailing, and is supported by moulded brick gable corbels. An internal gable-end stack is present, while the western stack is not attached to the gable-end wall. There is also a later single-storey extension at the rear.
