Description
Aspen Hall, formerly known as Turnpike Farmhouse, is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It is two storeys high with attics and features a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber framed and rendered, topped with double Roman tiles. The internal chimney stack has four attached hexagonal shafts with cutwater bases. Each storey has two three-light casement windows with two cross-bars in the lights, and there is a shallow-pitched enclosed gabled porch added around 1900.
At the rear, there is an early 19th-century one-and-a-half storey lean-to addition with a slate roof. Inside, the room to the south of the stack boasts an ornate plaster fireplace with an arched opening, a roll-moulded surround featuring small modillions, and an incised central motif. The main beam has stops with scroll and bar detailing. The original joists, which were set on edge, have been replaced and may have been covered by an ornate plaster ceiling. The staircase is located in its original position behind the stack, leading to the first floor and attics. The roof consists of seven bays that do not align with the wall bays, featuring two rows of unstepped butt purlins with windbraces supporting the upper row.
